This paper presents a literature survey on the recent developments related to experimental
and modeling studies of transient luminous events (TLEs) in the middle atmosphere termed …

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 …

A study is conducted of the principal chemical effects induced by the passage of a single
sprite streamer through the mesosphere at an altitude of 70 km. Recent high‐speed imaging …

The present report investigates using simultaneous observations of coincident gravity waves
and sprites to establish an upper limit on sprite-associated thermal energy deposition in the …

An overview of the recent modeling efforts directed on interpretation of observed features of
transient luminous events (TLEs) termed sprites, blue jets, blue starters and gigantic jets is …

We present a detailed statistical analysis of the association of 40 sprite events with lightning
from the parent thunderstorm. Both temporal and spatial criteria were used to identify the …

Blue jets and blue starters are considered as positive streamer coronas expanding from the
streamer zones of conventional lightning leaders under conditions when large‐scale electric …

We present the results of space‐based observations of sprites obtained during the
Mediterranean Israeli Dust Experiment (MEIDEX) sprite campaign conducted on board the …

During the summer of 2003, complementary measurements were taken in Europe during the
Sprite2003 campaign to study sprites and associated processes. On July 21, 28 sprites …

During the EXL98 aircraft mission, sprites and blue jets were observed by narrow band
cameras that measure the N2+ 1NG (0, 1) band at 4278Å and the N2 2PG (0, 0) band at …
