Despite being one of the most familiar and widely recognized natural phenomena, lightning
remains relatively poorly understood. Even the most basic questions of how lightning is …

The washout effect of summertime rain on surface air pollutants (O 3, CO, NO 2, SO 2, and
PM 10) has been investigated over South Korea during 2002–2012 using routinely available …

In this paper we report the first close, high‐resolution observations of downward‐directed
terrestrial gamma‐ray flashes (TGFs) detected by the large‐area Telescope Array cosmic …

Abstract Beijing Lightning Network (BLNET), a regional multi-frequency-band lightning
detection and location network, has been developed for both research and operational …

Terrestrial gamma‐ray flashes are linked to growth of long bidirectional lightning leader
system consisting of positive and stepping negative leaders. The spatial extent of streamer …

Based on experimental results of recent years, this article presents a qualitative description
of a possible mechanism (termed the Mechanism) covering the main stages of lightning …

Initial breakdown pulses (IBPs) observed in the fast electric field change (E‐change) at the
beginning of intracloud (IC) and cloud‐to‐ground (CG) lightning flashes are located using a …

The production mechanism for terrestrial gamma ray flashes (TGFs) is not entirely
understood, and details of the corresponding lightning activity and thunderstorm charge …

This study examines the initiation of two intracloud (IC) and two cloud-to-ground (CG)
lightning flashes using electric field change (FA) sensors and VHF (LogRF) sensors located …

This paper reports an observational study of lightning initial breakdown pulses (IBPs) using
the low‐frequency array radio telescope and a broadband magnetic field sensor. The data …
