Evolution of lightning and the possible initiation/triggering of lightning discharges by the lower positive charge center in an isolated thundercloud in the tropics [PDF]
, 2004 The evolution of lightning and the shape of recovery curves after multiple-discharge flashes in a thundercloud have been studied from the surface measurements of electric field and Maxwell current near a tropical thundercloud.

Citizen Science Observation of a Gamma‐Ray Glow Associated With the Initiation of a Lightning Flash
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Gamma‐ray glows are observational evidence of relativistic electron acceleration due to the electric field in thunderclouds. However, it is yet to be understood whether such relativistic electrons contribute to the initiation of lightning discharges.

On the Breakdown Electric Field in a Thundercloud [PDF]
, 1994 P(論文)An estimation of the breakdown electric field in a thundercloud is derived from the condition for a self sustaining discharge to occur. This new estimation is considered as an extention of the one that has been adopted to study the electrical ...

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.This study proposes a phase‐aware bias correction framework for all‐sky infrared radiance assimilation. Cloud top temperature differences between observations and model background fields are used to identify cloud‐phase mismatch and cold‐cloud regimes.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.Abstract Gamma‐ray glows are prolonged enhancements of gamma rays from thunderclouds, which are often linked to large‐scale electric fields rather than individual lightning. The link between glows and lightning remains poorly understood. Here, we analyzed 300 glows observed during the ALOFT aircraft campaign and optical lightning detected by GLM.

Weak Positive Discharges Leading to Lightning Initiation
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.Abstract Lightning‐initiating events in the Earth's atmosphere originate within compact regions of space with dimensions on the order of hundreds of meters. In the strongest events the associated current pulses propagate from positive to negative thundercloud charge centers at speeds approaching one tenth of the speed of light, a process referred to as

Atmosphere, 2021 A recent study pointed out that macroscopic dark matter (macros) traversing through the Earth’s atmosphere can give rise to hot and ionized channels similar to those associated with lightning leaders. The authors of the study investigated the possibility
