Bushfires 'down under': patterns and implications of contemporary Australian landscape burning
Jeremy Russell-Smith,Cameron Yates,Peter J. Whitehead,Richard Smith,Ron Craig,Grant E. Allan,Richard Thackway,Ian Frakes,Shane Cridland,Mick Meyer,A. Malcolm Gill +10 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive assessment of continental-scale fire patterning (1997-2005) derived from ∼ 1k m 2 AdvancedVery High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) imagery shows that fire activity occurs predominantly in the savanna landscapes of monsoonal northern Australia as mentioned in this paper.

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.

Criteria for sprites and elves based on Schumann resonance observations
E. Huang,Earle Williams,Robert Boldi,Stan Heckman,W. A. Lyons,Michael J. Taylor,Thomas E. Nelson,C. Wong +7 more
TL;DR: Theoretical predictions for dielectric breakdown in the mesosphere were tested using ELF methods to evaluate vertical charge moments of positive ground flashes as discussed by the authors, and the measured charge moments were sufficient to account for electron runaway breakdown, and the long avalanche length in this mechanism also accounts for the exclusive association of sprites with ground flashes of positive polarity.
