Microspherules formed by lightning strikes
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 5, Page 743-767, May 2026.Abstract Natural microspherules are formed by high‐temperature processes and are present throughout the geologic record to the present day. We report the discovery of large numbers of microspherules recovered from a rock pavement in the Pilbara region, Western Australia.

Air Quality Penalty in Southeast Asia Driven by AMOC Slowdown
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.Abstract The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) regulates Earth's climate by redistributing heat and freshwater across the Atlantic Ocean. While accelerating Arctic melt is expected to weaken the AMOC, its implications for atmospheric composition remain poorly understood.

Detecting Thunderstorm‐Related High‐Energy Phenomena in Weak Signals
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.Abstract Gamma‐ray glows (GRGs) are high‐energy events associated with thunderstorms, characterized by an enhancement of the high‐energy background radiation lasting from a few seconds to several minutes. They are typically detected near their sources by balloons, aircraft, mountain‐based observatories, or at sea level in regions where thunderstorms ...

Correlated measurements of UHF radar signatures, RF radiation and electric field changes from lightning [PDF]
During Storm Hazards - 82, simultaneous measurements are made of radar echoes, fast and slow field changes and RF radiation from lightning. Radio frequency radiation and radar echoes are also obtained during periods when the research aircraft is struck ...

Helicopter Triggered Lightning in Norway
, 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.

Lightning‐Induced Overvoltage on Overhead Distribution Line via Hybrid MTL‐PEEC Method
High VoltageTransient simulation are more economical and adaptable means of studying lightning overvoltage for overhead distribution line system compared to experiments. A hybrid multi‐transmission‐line (MTL)‐partial element equivalent circuit (PEEC) method proposed

The effects of the exhaust plume on the lightning triggering conditions for launch vehicles [PDF]
Apollo 12 and Atlas Centaur 67 are two launch vehicles that have experienced triggered lightning strikes. Serious consequences resulted from the events; in the case of Atlas Centaur 67, the vehicle and the payload were lost. These events indicate that it

Arc driver operation for either efficient energy transfer or high-current generator [PDF]
An investigation is made to establish predictable electric arcs along triggered paths for research purposes, the intended application being the heating of the driver gas of a 1 MJ electrically driven shock tube.
