Elves : Lightning-induced transient luminous events in the lower ionosphere
TL;DR: In this article, a multichannel high-speed photometer and image intensified CCD cameras were carried out at Yucca Ridge Field Station (40040'N, 104o.56'W) in Colorado as part of the SPRITES'95 campaign from 15 June to August 6, 1995.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the global transient luminous event (TLE) distributions and rates based on the Imager of Sprites and Upper Atmospheric Lightning (ISUAL) experiment onboard the FORMOSAT-2 satellite.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gigantic jets between a thundercloud and the ionosphere.
Han Tzong Su,Rue-Ron Hsu,A. Chen,Yun Che Wang,W. S. Hsiao,W. C. Lai,Lou-Chuang Lee,Mitsuteru Sato,Hiroshi Fukunishi +8 more
TL;DR: Observations of five gigantic jets that establish a direct link between a thundercloud and the ionosphere at 90 km elevation indicate that the extremely-low-frequency waves were generated by negative cloud-to-ionosphere discharges, which would reduce the electrical potential between ionosphere and ground.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global survey of upper atmospheric transient luminous events on the ROCSAT-2 satellite
Jyh-Long Chern,Rue-Ron Hsu,Han Tzong Su,Stephen B. Mende,Hiroshi Fukunishi,Yukihiro Takahashi,Lou-Chuang Lee +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an intensified CCD imager, a six-channel spectrophotometer, and two array photometers are mounted on a common platform and boresighted in the same direction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic field variations in the Jovian magnetotail induced by solar wind dynamic pressure enhancements
TL;DR: In this paper, the response of the Jovian magnetosphere to solar wind dynamic pressure enhancements was investigated by simulating a one-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic propagation of the solar wind from the Earth.
