Volcanic lightning: exploring the correlation between volcanic eruption, lightning and transient luminous events from 2009 to 2022

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences
Volcanic activity represents one of the most widespread and destructive natural phenomena on Earth. Previous studies and media reports have indicated that intense volcanic eruptions are frequently accompanied by volcanic lightning. However, understanding

Doppler radar observations of triggered lightning

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 1982
A vertically pointing Doppler radar was installed approximately 50 meters from an instrumented platform where lightning is constrained to strike and where the lightning current is recorded. The experiments were designed to study the effect of lightning on the surrounding precipitation but no discernable disturbance of the precipitation particle ...

Helicopter Triggered Lightning in Norway

open access: yes, 2020
Helicopters are sometimes hit by lightning when flying offshore along the coast of Norway. Often, the helicopter’s presence is what triggers the lightning strike, and this phenomenon is called Helicopter Triggered Lightning (HTL). These lightning strikes present both an economic and a safety risk to offshore operators.
