This review concerns the theory of the avalanche multiplication of high-energy (0.1–10 MeV)
electrons in a neutral material, a newly discovered phenomenon known as runaway …

In the last decade there has been a great deal of interest in the detection and understanding
of phenomena occurring above active thunderstorms. The discovery of the optical …

Lightning produces electromagnetic fields and waves in all frequency ranges. In the
extremely low frequency (ELF) range below 100 Hz, the global Schumann Resonances (SR) …

Upper atmospheric transient luminous events (TLEs; sprite, elves, blue jet, etc.) are recently
discovered thunderstorm-induced phenomena. Imager of sprites/upper atmospheric …

The temporal and spatial development of sprite‐producing lightning flashes is examined
with coordinated observations over an asymmetric mesoscale convective system (MCS) on …

Индуцирование электрического разряда в веществе ì электрический пробой
исследуется более двух столетий. Он подробно изучен и имеет разнообразные …

It has been suggested that optical flashes observed in the upper atmosphere above giant
thunderstorms (red sprites) are due to streamers. Such streamers are initiated in the lower …

Streamer electrical discharges are often investigated with computer simulations of density
models (also called reaction-drift-diffusion models). We review these models, detailing their …

In the last decade, the proliferation of new 3D printing technologies has enabled the
fabrication of complex geometries in manifold materials for novel applications. One …

During a thunderstorm on 23 July 2003, 15 sprites were captured by a LLTV camera
mounted at the observatory on Pic du Midi in the French Pyrénées. Simultaneous …
