Observations and Modeling of the Longest‐Recorded Delayed Sprite
Abstract Transient luminous events (TLEs), such as sprites, have been investigated via observations and simulations for decades. Recent TLE research has focused on effects leading to the delay of a sprite from its parent lightning flash. Here we investigate a sprite with by far the longest recorded delay to date, a delay of almost a full second (916.6 ±

Characterizing Australian Solar Resource Variability and Solar Droughts With Himawari‐8/9
Abstract Solar energy is central to decarbonization and national energy plans, yet its deployment is limited by gaps in understanding how solar irradiance varies in space and time. We present the first continent‐scale, sub‐daily analysis of solar resource variability using Himawari‐8/9 satellite data for Australia's renewable energy zones.

Abstract Rawinsonde measurements from Central Europe were evaluated to investigate environments associated with lightning. The study compared lightning and non‐lightning profiles, pre‐ and post‐convective profiles, and varying lightning flash rates. In total, 137,501 quality‐controlled measurements from 2006 to 2018 were used, along with 327 convective

On the Beam Characteristics of X‐Ray Bursts Observed in Rocket‐Triggered Lightning
Abstract Employing the multi‐station Thunderstorm Energetic Radiation Observation System, we detected X‐ray bursts during two rocket‐triggered lightning events in 2024. By innovatively integrating optical imaging with three‐dimensional lightning channel reconstruction based on Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS), we analyzed the X‐ray emission ...
