Ground‐based and satellite‐based lightning locating systems are the most common ways to
detect and geolocate lightning. Depending upon the frequency range of operation, LLSs …

A long-standing but fundamental question in lightning studies concerns how lightning is
initiated inside storms, given the absence of physical conductors. The issue has revolved …

Monitoring lightning and its location is important for understanding thunderstorm activity and
revealing lightning discharge mechanisms. This is often realized based on very low …

Thunderstorms are natural laboratories for studying electrical discharges in air, where the
vast temporal, spatial, and energy scales available can spawn surprising phenomena that …

Lightning is a dangerous yet poorly understood natural phenomenon. Lightning forms a
network of plasma channels propagating away from the initiation point with both positively …

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 Fast Antenna Lightning Mapping Array (FALMA), a low‐frequency lightning
mapping system comprising an array of fast antennas, was developed and established in …

Recent measurements of narrow bipolar lightning events (NBEs) by very high frequency
(VHF) radio interferometer have resolved the dynamic development of this special lightning …

Lightning discharges between charged clouds and the Earth's surface are responsible for
considerable damages and casualties. It is therefore important to develop better protection …

Lightning is highly destructive due to its high power density and unpredictable character.
Directing lightning away would allow to protect sensitive sites from its direct and indirect …
