Electron Acceleration Mechanisms in Thunderstorms [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Thunderstorms produce strong electric fields over regions on the order of kilometer. The corresponding electric potential differences are on the order of 100 MV. Secondary cosmic rays reaching these regions may be significantly accelerated and even amplified in relativistic runaway avalanche processes.

Investigations of simulated aircraft flight through thunderstorm outflows [PDF]
The effects of wind shear on aircraft flying through thunderstorm gust fronts were investigated. A computer program was developed to solve the two dimensional, nonlinear equations of aircraft motion, including wind shear.

Thunderstorms and Auroral Phenomena [PDF]
Nature, 1893 I AM residing in tropical Queensland, lat. 21° S., and consequently am not likely to see any auroral phenomena, particularly in the middle of our hot and rainy season; but last night between 8 and 9 P.M. there occurred the following remarkable appearances, which were seen by me and several others.

High-energy radiation from thunderstorms and lightning with LOFT [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 This is a White Paper in support of the mission concept of the Large Observatory for X-ray Timing (LOFT), proposed as a medium-sized ESA mission. We discuss the potential of LOFT for the study of high-energy radiation from thunderstorms and lightning. For a summary, we refer to the paper.
