Detection of infrasonic pulses from thunderclouds
Geophysical Research Letters, 1977 Acoustic data obtained from thunderstorm observations during 1975 near Socorro, New Mexico, and during 1976 at J. F. Kennedy Space Center, Florida, exhibited single, infrasonic pulses superimposed on the thunder signals arriving from the cloud in each of several thunder records. Only the Socorro data have been quantitatively analysed thus far.

On the impact of thunder on cloud ice crystals and droplets [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and PhysicsCalculations 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 ...

Estimation of sprite occurrences in Central Africa
Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2002 Extremely low-frequency magnetic field disturbances from intense positive lightning discharges are compared to the convective cloud cover in central Africa, derived from infrared brightness temperatures recorded on board the geostationary satellite ...

The emission of energetic electrons from the complex streamer corona adjacent to leader stepping
, 2019 We here propose a model to capture the complexity of the streamer corona adjacent to leader stepping and relate it to the production of energetic electrons serving as a source of X-rays and $\gamma$-rays, manifesting in terrestrial gamma-ray flashes ...

Initiation of non-tropical thunderstorms by solar activity [PDF]
Correlative evidence accumulating since 1926 suggests that there must be some physical coupling mechanism between solar activity and thunderstorm occurrence in middle to high latitudes.

Studying Recorded lightning over Iraq for Period 1998-2011
Al-Mustansiriyah Journal of Science, 2018 This research studies distribution of thunderstorm in Iraq for the period (1998-2011), the result showed that the largest regions which had been hit by lightning stroke were between latitude (35-36◦)E and longitude (45-46◦)N, and April was the most ...

Geophysical Research LettersThe strong very high frequency (VHF) radiation from compact intra‐cloud discharges (CIDs) is attributed to streamers. An analytical model, taking altitude and applied electric field as input, is developed for effective representation of current for a ...
