Lightning flash properties derived from lightning mapping array data

in this paper size and duration of lightning flashes are examined. Data from the Ebro Valley Laboratory Lightning Mapping Array is used as reference. Additional data from the VLF/LF LINET network and meteorological radar is included.

Repeatable Velocity Fine Structure of Lightning K‐Leaders From a Single VHF Interferometer Made Three‐Dimensional

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract K‐processes re‐illuminate lightning channels at speeds of order 107 m s−1, but measuring their three‐dimensional (3‐D) propagation velocity has required multi‐station systems available at few sites. An error‐isomorphism range inversion upgrades a single very‐high‐frequency interferometer (INTF) into a 3‐D imager: Lightning Mapping Array (LMA ...

Influence of Particle Properties and Grain Size on Aggregation in Dry Particle‐Laden Volcanic Jets

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Explosive volcanic eruptions can inject large amounts of ash into the atmosphere. These suspended particles pose hazards to aircraft, so a better understanding of the ash residence time and transport distance is needed. Fine particles combine to form larger aggregates, altering their settling behavior.

Washington D.C. Lightning Mapping Array Demonstration Project Risk Reduction for GOES Lightning Mapper Data

, 2007
A 10-site, ground-based total lightning mapping array (LMA) has been installed in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area in 2006. The total lightning data from DC LMA are being processed in real-time and derived products are being provided to the ...

Daily Peak Activity of the African Lightning Chimney Based on Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) Lightning Imager (LI), World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN), and Schumann Resonance (SR) Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Lightning activity is strongly concentrated in tropical continental “chimneys”, among which the African lightning chimney stands out as the most intense globally. However, until recently, the incomplete and spatially uneven detection efficiency of ground‐based lightning networks, together with the limited spatio‐temporal coverage of satellite ...

A Comparison of Lightning Flashes as Observed by the Lightning Imaging Sensor and the North Alabama Lightning Mapping Array

, 2008
The Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) aboard the TRMM satellite has been collecting optical lightning data since November 1997. A Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) that senses VHF impulses from lightning was installed in North Alabama in the Fall of 2001.

Microphysics and Kinematics of a High Flash Rate Storm With a Bottom‐Heavy Charge Structure

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract An atypical thunderstorm with unusual lightning and charge structure characteristics propagated through Cordoba province, Argentina, during the austral warm season in late 2018. This storm exhibited echo tops near 10.5 km, with high lightning activity concentrated at low altitudes.

Detection and Analysis of an Upward Jet‐Like Electrical Discharge Intercepting a High‐Altitude Research Aircraft

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract During a 2023 field campaign, a NASA ER‐2 research aircraft intercepted an upward jet‐like electrical discharge at 20 km altitude over an intense tropical thunderstorm. This event was analyzed using airborne multispectral optical sensors, electric field mills, X‐band radar, passive microwave, and ground‐based radio networks.

Dependence of Neutralized Charge Amount on Meteorological Conditions in Summertime Lightning Discharges in Japan

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract Lightning discharges in Gunma Prefecture, Japan, from June–September 2023 were analyzed to explore the dependence of the neutralized charge amount on cloud structures embedded in weather systems, mainly based on in situ measurements of the ground‐based electric field, radar and satellite remote sensing, and numerical simulations using a bulk ...
