Atmospheric electricity has been intensively studied during the last 30 years after the
discovery in 1989 of different forms of upper atmospheric electrical discharges (so–called …

Transient luminous events (TLEs) such as sprites, blue jets (BJs) and elves have been
studied intensively during the last three decades, and much is now known of their properties …

Abstract On 15 January 2022, Hunga Volcano in Tonga produced the most violent eruption
in the modern satellite era, sending a water‐rich plume at least 58 km high. Using a …

Occasionally, lightning will exit the top of a thunderstorm and connect to the lower edge of
space, forming a gigantic jet. Here, we report on observations of a negative gigantic jet that …

Abstract Narrow Bipolar Events (NBEs) are powerful radio emissions from thunderstorms,
which have been recently associated with blue optical flashes on cloud tops and attributed …

Blue corona discharges are often generated in thunderclouds penetrating into the
stratosphere and are the optical manifestation of narrow bipolar events (NBEs) observed in …

On the night of 1 November 2022, a luminous discharge was produced above a storm over
the northwestern Mediterranean Sea. An unprecedented set of optical and electrical data …

We analyze a nighttime negative cloud‐to‐ground lightning flash in Colombia observed from
the ground with a high‐speed camera at 5,000 images per second and from space by the …

In recent years, the studies in global electric circuit (GEC) have received additional interest
because of its potential to monitor climate and its use in representing the planets electrical …

Single streamers are currently well simulated using detailed computational models. Most of
these models are inhibitively complex to use for modelling many-streamer interactions in a …
