Rare Lightning and Convection Characteristics During Two Successive Tornadoes in Southern China
High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Systematic investigations into lightning characteristics of tornado storms in China remain scarce. This study comprehensively analyses rare lightning behaviour and overshooting top characteristics for two successive tornadoes during a long‐lived supercell in southern China on 27 April 2024.

Comparison of lightning location data and polarisation radar observations of clouds [PDF]
Simultaneous observations of both the precipitation and the lightning associated with thunderstorms show that the lightning is within 3 km of the maximum precipitation echo.

Flash Detection Efficiencies of Long Range Lightning Detection Networks During GRIP [PDF]
, 2012 We flew our Lightning Instrument Package (LIP) on the NASA Global Hawk as a part of the Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes (GRIP) field program. The GRIP program was a NASA Earth science field experiment during the months of August and September,

High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Tree‐contact single‐phase‐to‐ground fault (TSF) is a common and hazardous type of failure in distribution networks. TSF is likely to occur when overhead conductors contact moist tree branches, potentially leading to insulation breakdown, posing serious threats to grid safety.

The Issue of Pre‐Islamic Arabic Christian Poetry Revisited
Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Is only very little Arabic Christian poetry extant from pre‐Islamic times? While distancing myself from Louis Cheikho's (1859–1927) view that almost all pre‐Islamic poets were Christians, I contend in this article that some of them indeed were.

Sprites identification and their spatial distributions in JEM-GLIMS nadir observations
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2017 The Global Lightning and Sprite Measurements on the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM-GLIMS) started continuous nadir observations of lightning and transient luminous events (TLEs) at the International Space Station (ISS) in November 2012 and completed the
