Analysis of the Charge Structure and Lightning Activity During a Severe Beijing Thunderstorm via an Innovative Balloon‐Borne 3D Electric Field Observation System

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract We developed an innovative balloon‐borne observation system based on China's BeiDou sounding platform that integrates a three‐axis electric field sensor for in‐cloud measurements of thunderstorm electrification. On 13 May 2025, this system was deployed during a severe convective storm over Beijing. In combination with multisource observations,

Attachment of lightning flashes to grounded structures [PDF]

, 2012
A grounded structure can interact with a lightning flash in two different ways. It can interact with either a downward or an upward lightning flash. The initiation of a downward lightning flash takes place in the cloud, whereas in the case of upward ...

Sprites Observed by ASIM: First Imaging Data Set and Temporal UV Emission Patterns

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract We present the first data set analysis of 41 imaging‐confirmed sprite events detected by the ASIM‐MMIA instrument. They were visible in the 337 nm camera images from an initial list of 102 candidates identified by the ultraviolet (UV 180–230 nm) photometer.

Climatology of cloud-to-ground lightning in Georgia, USA, 1992-2003 [PDF]

, 2005
A 12-year climatology of lightning cloud-to-ground flash activity for Georgia revealed the existence of three primary regions of high lightning activity: the area surrounding the Atlanta Metropolitan Statistical Area, east-central Georgia along the fall ...

A Delayed Return Stroke Driven by Channel Charge Accumulation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Based on combined VHF interferometer and fast/slow antenna measurements, we document an abnormal bolt‐from‐the‐blue lightning flash, which included two strokes. There are four successive attempted dart leaders following the first return stroke. The last detected downward leader stopped advancing at approximately 94 m and decayed.

Cloud-to-ground lightning in Portugal: patterns and dynamical forcing [PDF]

, 2012
An analysis of the cloud-to-ground discharges (CGD) over Portugal is carried out using data collected by a network of sensors maintained by the Portuguese Meteorological Institute for 2003–2009 (7 yr).

Contrasting the TEMPO and TROPOMI Views of Tropospheric NO2: Implications for Diurnal Variability and Model Evaluation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a key indicator of unhealthy air, yet its sub‐daily spatiotemporal variability has not been widely characterized across large spatial scales in North America. Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO), a geostationary hyperspectral UV‐Vis instrument, offers up to 12 hourly observations per location ...

Marine Aerosol to Refinery Emissions: Transport and Evolution of CCN in the Houston Metropolitan Area and Their Impact on Cloud Formation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract The Experiment of Sea Breeze Convection, Aerosols, Precipitation and Environment (ESCAPE) campaign aimed to untangle the impacts of contrasting aerosol sources on cloud microphysical properties within deep convective cells using airborne observations with the National Research Council Canada (NRC) Convair CV‐580 research aircraft.

Lightning interaction with the ionosphere [PDF]

Lightning discharges, including cloud-to-ground (CG) and intracloud (IC) lightning, are known to emit electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) in a wide frequency band ranging from few Hz up to hundreds MHz [1]. During the breakdown and ionization processes (mostly

Rapid evolution of energetic lightning strokes in Mediterranean winter storms

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science
The occurrence of winter lightning concentrates in a few specific regions in the world, including the Mediterranean, where electromagnetic signatures of this interesting dangerous phenomenon have not yet been studied in detail. We investigate the initial
