High‐energy electron beams launched into space by thunderstorms [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical 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

Interviews of Mongolian herders and high resolution precipitation data reveal an increase in short heavy rains and thunderstorm activity in semi-arid Mongolia

open access: yesClimatic Change, 2016
Increases in extreme record-breaking daily precipitation events have accompanied warming temperatures causing increased flooding in many areas of the World, but are not well documented for arid and semi-arid regions.

Lightning charge moment changes in U.S. High Plains thunderstorms [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2004
We report measurements of impulsive (2 ms) lightning charge moment changes in more than 1000 cloud‐to‐ground (CG) return strokes detected by the National Lightning Detection Network in three United States High Plains storms during the Severe Thunderstorm Electrification and Precipitation Study (STEPS) field program of 2000.

The challenge of predicting flash floods from thunderstorm rainfall. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
A major characteristic of the hydrometeorology of semi-arid regions is the occurrence of intense thunderstorms that develop very rapidly and cause severe flooding.

Searching for effects caused by thunderstorms in midlatitude sporadic E layers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Possible thunderstorm - sporadic E (Es) layer coupling effects are investigated during two measurement periods, one in 2013 and one in 2014. The analysis was based on ionospheric observations obtained from a Digisonde at Pruhonice, the Czech Republic, an

Termination of Electron Acceleration in Thundercloud by Intra/Inter-cloud Discharge [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
An on-ground observation program for high energy atmospheric phenomena in winter thunderstorms along Japan Sea has been performed via measurements of gamma-ray radiation, atmospheric electric field and low-frequency radio band.

High Production of Gigantic Jets by a Thunderstorm Over Indian Ocean

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2023
AbstractThirteen gigantic jets (GJ) were observed on 12 February 2020, with a sensitive video camera located at Maïdo Observatory, La Réunion Island in Indian Ocean. They were produced within 68 min by nearby cells embedded in a convective system almost 500 km from Maïdo. The video imagery combined with the lightning activity from GLD360, the cloud top
