Offshore lightning more active and intense in U.S. East Coast wind areas than in North Sea

Environmental Research Communications
Fast winds over open areas off the U.S. East Coast resulted in many offshore areas being opened for wind power deployment. Yet lightning is active in this same general area.

Rapid postfire color shift in a Mediterranean lizard

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
We quantified dorsal luminosity and color composition of Psammodromus algirus in burned and adjacent unburned habitats at different times since fire. Lizards inhabiting recently burned areas displayed lighter dorsal coloration, particularly during the early stages of postfire succession, with the effect being more pronounced in larger individuals ...

Automatic Detection of Whistler Waves in the Top-Side Ionosphere: The WhISPER Technique

Atmosphere
We introduce the Whistler Identification by Spectral Power Estimation and Recognition (WhISPER) algorithm, a novel automated technique for detecting whistler waves in the top side of the Earth’s ionosphere.

Microspherules Formed by Lightning Strikes

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Natural microspherules are formed by high‐temperature processes and are present throughout the geologic record to the present day. We report the discovery of large numbers of microspherules recovered from a rock pavement in the Pilbara region, Western Australia.

Falling Trend of Winter Lightning Over Western India and Its Possible Relation With Western Disturbances

Earth and Space Science
During the Indian winter, the southerly propagation of cold air at middle and upper altitudes is caused by a trough in westerly jet streams due to the effect of Western Disturbances (WDs).

Rate statistics for radio noise from lightning [PDF]

Radio frequency noise from lightning was measured at several frequencies in the HF - VHF range at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida. The data were examined to determine flashing rate statistics during periods of strong activity from nearby storms. It was

How Wikipedia Can Overcome the Great Firewall of China [PDF]

, 2006
Oil is the main insulation in power transformers and over long time of ageing its insulation properties can change. In this paper ageing of oil due to the exposure to electric discharges was investigated.

Samplify: a versatile tool for image‐based segmentation and annotation of seed abortion phenotypes

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Automated seed phenotyping has wide applications in research and agriculture and relies on easy‐to‐use platforms and pipelines. Seed phenotyping in the model species Arabidopsis thaliana poses a significant challenge due to the large number of tiny seeds produced by individual plants, which are difficult to manually separate and count.

Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...
