A Thunderstorm Cloud Point Charge Localization Method Based on CEEMDAN and SG Filtering
IEEE Access, 2021 The current thunderstorm monitoring methods ignore the nonlinear and non-stationary characteristics of atmospheric electric field signals, which has a negative effect on the monitoring results. Based on complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition

A Model for Positive Corona Inception from Charged Ellipsoidal Thundercloud Hydrometeors [PDF]
, 2022 Lightning is observed to incept in thundercloud electric fields below the threshold value Ek for discharge initiation. To explain this, the local enhancement of the electric field by hydrometeors is considered.

The Illumination of Thunderclouds by Lightning: 4. Volumetric Thunderstorm Imagery
Earth and Space Science, 2022 Optical instruments such as the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) detect lightning based on transient changes in cloud illumination. The horizontal location of lightning is determined from the coordinates of the pixels on the imaging array illuminated

Remote sensing of thundercloud electric fields [PDF]
, 1997 Theoretical and experimental work was performed on emission of photons from the air within and above thunderclouds and within lightning channels. Predictions were made of the telltale emissions from ionized nitrogen molecules and these emissions were ...
