Simultaneous observations of optical lightning and terrestrial gamma ray flash from space
[1] We present the very first simultaneous detection from space of a terrestrial gamma ray flash (TGF) and the optical signal from lightning. By fortuitous coincidence, two independent satellites passed less than 300 km from the thunderstorm system that produced a TGF that lasted 70 s. Together with two independent measurements of radio emissions, we have an unprecedented coverage of the event....
متن کاملModeling ELF radio atmospheric propagation and extracting lightning currents from ELF observations
Observations of extremely low frequency (ELF) radio atmospherics (sferics), the transient electromagnetic fields radiated by lightning discharges, are used to determine the current moment waveforms of vertical lightning discharges. In order to extract this information the propagation of radio atmospherics from source to receiver must be modeled accurately, especially in view of the important ro...
متن کاملCloud-to-Ground Lightning Observations from TOGA COARE: Selected Results and Lightning Location Algorithms
Recently, observations of electrified oceanic convection and associated cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning were obtained over the tropical western Pacific Ocean during TOGA COARE (Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Response Experiment) . During COARE, observations of convection were made using a variety of instrument platforms including ship and airborne Doppler radars, an ad...
متن کاملEstimates of lightning NOx production from GOME satellite observations
Tropospheric NO2 column retrievals from the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME) satellite spectrometer are used to quantify the source strength and 3-D distribution of lightning produced nitrogen oxides (NOx=NO+NO2). A sharp increase of NO2 is observed at convective cloud tops with increasing cloud top height, consistent with a power-law behaviour with power 5±2. Convective production of ...
متن کاملFORTE Satellite Observations of VHF Radiation from Lightning Discharges
The Los Alamos National Laboratory/Sandia National Laboratory FORTE satellite is described and its capabilities for global remote sensing of lightning in the radio regime are described. Some results from 7 years of successful operation are presented. A future global lightning monitoring mission, VGLASS, is described.
