Polarization Measurements and Source Locations of Saturn Electrostatic Discharges During the Voyager Era

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract A Saturn Electrostatic Discharge or SED is an intense electromagnetic impulse induced by Saturn lightning, which escapes into space through the magnetoplasma of the ionosphere. Since previous SED polarizations from Voyager data are inconclusive, this polarization study is the first which properly considers the characteristics of the Voyager ...

Stratosphere‐Troposphere Exchange of Ozone and CO Over the North Pacific: Roles of Different Types of Rossby Wave Breaking With Multiple Chemical‐Reanalysis Perspectives

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract In this study, we investigate the characteristics of stratosphere‐troposphere exchange (STE) of ozone and carbon monoxide (CO) over the North Pacific on the 350 K isentropic surface during 2005–2021 using two chemical reanalyses (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service and TCR‐2).

The Source Brightness Distribution of Terrestrial Gamma‐Ray Flashes From the ALOFT Flight Campaign

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract Terrestrial Gamma‐ray Flashes (TGFs) are naturally occurring phenomena that consist of bursts of gamma radiation associated with thunderclouds. Measurements of TGFs have been predominantly based on satellite instruments due to the significantly larger observation area compared to ground measurements. Due to atmospheric attenuation of the gamma

Characterization and Localization of Chemical Explosions and Lightning Flashes by a Flotilla of Stratospheric Balloons

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract On 3 August 2021, a flotilla of four Heliotrope solar hot air balloons was launched from central New Mexico (USA). The balloons, equipped with microbarometers, flew from sunrise to sunset at altitudes between 17 and 22 km. During the flight, eight chemical explosions ranging from 45 to 136 kg TNT equivalent and a thunderstorm occurred in the ...

UHF and VHF radar observations of thunderstorms [PDF]

, 1986
A study of thunderstorms was made in the Summer of 1985 with the 430-MHz and 50-MHz radars at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. Both radars use the 300-meter dish, which gives a beam width of less than 2 degrees even at these long wavelengths ...
