Outbreak of Negative Narrow Bipolar Events in Two Mid-Latitude Thunderstorms Featuring Overshooting Tops

Remote Sensing, 2021
Lightning discharges are the electrical production in thunderclouds. They radiate the bulk of radio signals in the very low-frequency and low-frequency (VLF/LF) that can be detected by ground-based receivers.

Could Narrow Bipolar Events Serve as a Distinct Lightning Proxy for Revealing Overshooting Thunderclouds Development?

Geophysical Research Letters
Narrow bipolar events (NBEs) are often generated in overshooting thunderclouds (OT) penetrating the stratosphere. However, how and under what conditions OT produces such discharges remains unclear.

Simulation on the development progress of positive glow corona discharge from ground wire of AC/DC transmission lines under thunderstorm condition

The Journal of Engineering, 2019
In thunderstorm weather, lightning induction appears on the surface of ground objects, and then the positive glow corona is initiated, which influences the selection of lighting targets by lighting leader.

Space-temporal structure of the thunderstorm ground enhancements (TGEs)

Physics Open
We analyzed the structure of the Thunderstorm Ground Enhancement (TGE) using a particle detector network on Aragats. We performed a statistical analysis of the particle arrival time series on a nanosecond time scale using the largest TGE event on record,

On the impact of thunder on cloud ice crystals and droplets [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
Calculations are presented on the impact of thunder on cloud particles. The results show that the creation of a shock wave front near a lightning channel results in shattering of ice crystals, droplets, and dust aerosols, this being a yet unidentified ...
