Identification of sprites and elves with intensified video and broadband array photometry

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used high-speed video recordings along with theoretical modeling to elucidate the optical signatures of elves and sprites, and showed that a brief diffuse flash sometimes observed to accompany or precede more structured sprites in standard speed video is a normal component of sprite electrical breakdown and is due entirely to the quasi-electrostatic thundercloud field (sprites), rather than the lightning electromagnetic pulse (elves).

Ionospheric D region remote sensing using VLF radio atmospherics

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a model of sferic propagation which is based on an existing frequency domain subionospheric VLF propagation code and derived the electron density profile that most closely matched an observed sferric spectrum.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-range lightning geolocation using a VLF radio atmospheric waveform bank

TL;DR: In this paper, a new technique of long-range (≤6000 km) global lightning geolocation via sferic detection is presented, which catalogs the dominant variation in expected received waveforms in a set of waveform banks, which are then used to estimate the propagation distance and accurately determine the arrival time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental daytime VLF ionospheric parameters

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used measured field strengths from VLF transmitters to determine improved day-time values of ionospheric parameters to enable improved VlF propagation predictions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large solar flares and their ionospheric D region enhancements

TL;DR: In this paper, a similar extrapolation, but using the other GOES X-ray band, 0.05-0.4 nm (XS) is also consistent with a magnitude of X45.
