High‐energy electron beams launched into space by thunderstorms [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2008 Using CGRO/BATSE data, a possible new source of high‐energy electrons and positrons in the earth's inner magnetosphere is presented. These particles are generated within the upper atmosphere by Compton scattering and pair‐production of gamma‐rays originating from near the tropopause as Terrestrial Gamma‐ray Flashes (TGFs). Once created, these energetic

SPECTROMETRY OF HIGH-ENERGY PHOTONS ON HIGH MOUNTAIN OBSERVATORY LOMNICKÝ ŠTÍT DURING THUNDERSTORMS
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2022 Abstract Lomnický štít, Slovakia, 2634 m above sea level, is known to be a place of extreme electric fields measured during thunderstorms and is thus a suitable place for thunderstorm-related ionising radiation research. We present one of the strongest Thunderstorm ground enhancements (TGE) ever detected, which occurred on 12 September ...

High-altitude electrical discharges associated with thunderstorms and lightning [PDF]
Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 2015 The purpose of this paper is to introduce electrical discharge phenomena known as transient luminous events above thunderstorms to the lightning protection community. Transient luminous events include the upward electrical discharges from thunderstorms known as starters, jets, and gigantic jets, and electrical discharges initiated in the lower ...
