Lightning originates from thunder cells which may have a diameter of several kilometres. Positively and negatively charged areas are created due to an uneven distribution of ice and water, as well as updraft and downdraft winds in the cloud. If the voltage differences become too high, an electri...

Although the point where it originates is not usually well established, ball lightning usually travels close to the earth. It may disappear silently or explode with a bang, emitting many bright flashes. Ball lightning travels on wires or along edges; or the path may be independent of such ...
(2011) and Warner et al. (2012) have provided evidences that recoil leaders are bipolar with bidirectional development, with the negative end propagating towards the origin point of the flash.

It originates as shock waves close to the channel, and moves radially away from the channel. Thunder changes in pitch with varying distances from the channel. The closer one is to the lightning flash, the more high-pitched and 'crackle-sounding' the thunder. The further away, the more low...
Such a microwave bubble contains a half-cycle standing-wave mode and is sketched in Fig. 1a. The microwave-type model of ball lightning can explain its permeation through glass plates. However, the origin of microwave emission from lightning was never found. In this article, we propose a ...
Basing on the atmospheric electric field data detected by the AMEO340 instrument over Yongzhuang ground-based observation station of Haikou province in 2011,combined with lightning location data and Doppler radar data,the atmospheric electric field characteristics of over-top thunderstorms in small area(...
Lightning First Pulses Used in the "Last" (Time-of-Arrival) and "Atlas" (Single Station) Total Lightning Mapping Systems The first RF pulse from "total lightning' discharges (cloud and ground flashes) has been used in different ways to locate the origin of flashes in two new types of ...
Detection of gamma rays by the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory; Origin in the atmosphere; Consistency of the photo... Fishman,J G.,Bhat,... - 《Science》 被引量: 641发表: 1994年 A comparison between Monte Carlo simulations of runaway breakdown and terrestrial gamma-ray flash observations ...
Modes of variability such as NAM and SAM are characterised by shifts in atmospheric mass between polar and mid-latitude regions, such that associated teleconnections may take some time to become apparent in locations away from their region of origin, noting that the majority of lightning activity ...
