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 …

This review paper, prepared for this second special issue on lightning of the IEEE
Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility, summarizes major publications on lightning …

During the past years a VLF/LF lightning detection network (LINET) was developed at the
University of Munich, which provides continuous data for both research and operational …

We report on an upward traveling, radio-detected cosmic-ray-like impulsive event with
characteristics closely matching an extensive air shower. This event, observed in the third …

Performance Assessment of the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN), Using
the Los Alamos Sferic Array (LASA) as Ground Truth in: Journal of Atmospheric and …

Atmospheric electric field change (sferic) waveforms were detected at Los Alamos Sferic
Array stations in association with terrestrial gamma‐ray flashes (TGFs). Five TGF sferic …

While narrow bipolar events (NBEs) could be related with lightning initiation, their intrinsic
physics remains in question. Here we report on optical measurements by the Atmosphere …

A new technique has been developed to operate spatially extended VLF/LF lightning
detection networks in a pseudo 3‐D mode in order to facilitate discrimination of intra‐cloud …
