This paper presents a literature survey on the recent developments related to experimental
and modeling studies of transient luminous events (TLEs) in the middle atmosphere termed …

Abstract The Modular Multispectral Imaging Array (MMIA) is a suite of optical sensors
mounted on an external platform of the European Space Agency's Columbus Module on the …

An experimental Very Low Frequency (VLF) World-Wide Lightning Location Network
(WWLLN) has been developed through collaborations with research institutions across the …

A full time-dependent kinetic study is presented for the main microscopic collisional and
radiative processes underlying the optical flashes associated with an impulsive (τ= 5 µs) …

We report the global transient luminous event (TLE) distributions and rates based on the
Imager of Sprites and Upper Atmospheric Lightning (ISUAL) experiment onboard the …

An experimental VLF World-Wide Lightning Location (WWLL) network has been developed
through collaborations with research institutions across the globe. The aim of the WWLL is to …

Thunderstorm clouds may reach the lower stratosphere, affecting the exchange of
greenhouse gases between the troposphere and stratosphere. This region of the …

The paper reviews recent advances in studies of electric discharges in the stratosphere and
mesosphere above thunderstorms, and their effects on the atmosphere. The primary focus is …

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

A three‐stage simulation is used to explore the chemical influence of low altitude (50 km)
sprite streamers on the atmosphere, including the chemical trail after the streamer has faded …
