Nature Photonics, 2023 AbstractLightning discharges between charged clouds and the Earth’s surface are responsible for considerable damages and casualties. It is therefore important to develop better protection methods in addition to the traditional Franklin rod. Here we present the first demonstration that laser-induced filaments—formed in the sky by short and intense laser

Variation of lightning-ignited wildfire patterns under climate change
Nature Communications, 2023 Lightning is the main precursor of natural wildfires and Long-Continuing-Current (LCC) lightning flashes are proposed to be the main igniters of lightning-ignited wildfires (LIW).

Environmental Research Letters, 2022 Lightning-induced fire is the primary disturbance agent in boreal forests. Recent large fire years have been linked to anomalously high numbers of lightning-caused fire starts, yet the mechanisms regulating the probability of lightning ignition remain ...

The WGLC global gridded lightning climatology and timeseries
Earth System Science Data, 2021 . Lightning is one of the most important atmospheric phenomena and has wide ranging influence on the Earth System, but few long-term observational datasets of lightning occurrence and distribution are currently freely available.

Lightning occurrences and intensity over the Indian region: Long-term trends and future projections
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021 . Lightning activities constitute the major destructive component of thunderstorms over India. Hence, understanding the long-term variabilities of lightning occurrence and intensity and their inter-relation with various causative factors is required ...

Exploring terrestrial lightning parameterisations for exoplanets and brown dwarfs [PDF]
Planetary & Space Science, 204 (2021), 105247, 2021 Observations and models suggest that the conditions to develop lightning may be present in cloud-forming extrasolar planetary and brown dwarf atmospheres. Whether lightning on these objects is similar to or very different from what is known from the Solar System awaits answering as lightning from extrasolar objects has not been detected yet. We explore

Discharged Payment Channels: Quantifying the Lightning Network's Resilience to Topology-Based Attacks [PDF]
2019 IEEE European Symposium on Security and Privacy Workshops (EuroS&PW), 2019 The Lightning Network is the most widely used payment channel network (PCN) to date, making it an attractive attack surface for adversaries. In this paper, we analyze the Lightning Network's PCN topology and investigate its resilience towards random ...

Upward Lightning at the Gaisberg Tower: Initiation Mechanism and Flash Type and the Atmospheric Influence [PDF]
, 2022 Upward lightning is much rarer than downward lightning and requires tall ($100+$~m) structures to initiate. It may be either triggered by other lightning discharges or completely self-initiated. While conventional lightning location systems reliably detect downward lightning, they miss a specific flash type of upward lightning that consists only of a ...
