High-energy radiation from thunderstorms and lightning with LOFT

, 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.

Disasters, Dictators, and Donors: The Impact of Foreign Aid on Economic Activity (Mis)Reporting

Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines how governments manipulate economic data to secure more foreign disaster aid. By using nighttime lighting as a reliable measure of economic activity, we make two key findings: (1) foreign disaster aid is positively linked to a country's understatement of its gross domestic product, indicating a deliberate strategy to ...

Design Spectra for Evaluating the Dynamic Response of Buildings Under Thunderstorm Downbursts

Buildings
This paper presents a spectral method to determine the effect of thunderstorm downbursts on structures. The method integrates the dynamic response of single oscillators subject to input accelerations induced by wind, based on classical earthquake ...

Significant Imprints of Vertical Resolution on Scale Interactions in the Global Model for Prediction Across Scales

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Global kilometer‐scale model simulations have demonstrated clear benefits from refining horizontal resolution in representing mesoscale weather phenomena, yet the role of vertical resolution remains comparatively underexplored. To address this gap, 40‐day experiments with the model for prediction across scales systematically varied both ...

Effects of Side Bileaders on Parent Positive Leader

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Side bileaders are commonly induced near a progressing positive leader, yet their effects on the parent positive leader remain poorly understood. Here we investigate their effects by combining high‐speed video with LF/VLF lightning channel mapping.
