Journal ArticleDOI
An analysis of the charge structure of lightning discharges to ground
TL;DR: In this article, the sources of charge for the individual strokes of four multiple-stroke flashes to ground have been determined, using measurements of the electrostatic field change obtained at eight locations on the ground beneath the storm.
Journal ArticleDOI
The electrical structure of the Hokuriku winter thunderstorms
TL;DR: In this paper, a strong correlation exists between the fraction of positive ground strokes and the vertical wind shear in the cloud layer, which helps to ensure that an initiating positive streamer will continue down to ground rather than into the negatively charged region that would normally be located directly below it.
Journal ArticleDOI
A distinct class of isolated intracloud lightning discharges and their associated radio emissions

TL;DR: In this paper, a distinct class of short-duration electric field change emissions was identified and characterized, termed narrow positive bipolar pulses (NPBPs), emitted from singular intracloud discharges that occurred in the most active regions of three thunderstorms located in New Mexico and west Texas.
Journal ArticleDOI
High speed video of initial sprite development
TL;DR: In this article, high speed video of sprites show that they are typically initiated at an altitude of about 75 km and usually develop simultaneously upwards and downwards from the point of origin with an initial columniform shape.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lightning induced brightening in the airglow layer
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a transient luminosity observed at the altitude of the airglow layer (about 95 km) in coincidence with a lightning flash in a tropical oceanic thunderstorm directly beneath it.
