Formation of Saturn's ring spokes by lightning-induced electron beams [PDF]

, 2006
Spokes are near-linear markings sometimes visible on Saturn's rings. They are widely accepted as being electrostatically-levitated sheets of similar to 0.6 micron-radius charged grains.

"Statistics and dynamics of the lightning activity over Belgium" [PDF]

, 2021
The statistical and dynamical properties of the lightning activity over Belgium are investigated for time scales ranging from 5 minutes up to a few hours by means of tools developed in nonldinear dynamics. Two main regimes, for short and long timescales,

Charge structure in volcanic plumes: a comparison of plume properties predicted by an integral plume model to observations of volcanic lightning during the 2010 eruption of Eyjafjallajökull, Iceland [PDF]

, 2014
Observations of volcanic lightning made using a lightning mapping array during the 2010 eruption of Eyjafjallajökull allow the trajectory and growth of the volcanic plume to be determined.

High lightning activity in maritime clouds near Mexico [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2012
Lightning activity detected by the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN) over oceanic regions adjacent to Mexico is often as high as that observed over the continent. In order to explore the possible causes of the observed high flash density over

High-latitude geomagnetically induced current events observed on very low frequency radio wave receiver systems [PDF]

, 2010
Noise burst events observed at Sodankylä, Finland, in the frequency range 20–25 kHz during January–April 2005 last up to 4 s, occur more often at midnight, are associated with high geomagnetic activity, and exhibit a quasi-constant amplitude perturbation

Five-Year Analysis of Lightning Activities in Different Climatic Regions of Sichuan Province, China

Advances in Meteorology, 2023
Sichuan is a high-incidence area of thunderstorm activity in China. Based on the data of the total lightning location system from 2018 to 2022, the total lightning, cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning, and intracloud (IC) lightning activity regularity for the

The Characteristics of Thunderstorms and Their Lightning Activity on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Advances in Meteorology, 2022
This paper discusses the temporal and spatial distribution characteristics of cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning activity over the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) from 2009 to 2018 and their dependence on meteorological factors. It is found that (1) the number
