Abstract The ionospheric D-region (~ 60 km up to~ 95 km) and the corresponding neutral
atmosphere, often referred to as the mesosphere–lower thermosphere (MLT), are …

We describe the recently discovered phenomenon of the formation of an extended luminous
structure at the bend of the channel of a high-voltage pulse discharge. It is called the …

The association of lightning activity with the long-term as well as seasonal spatio-temporal
distribution of convective available potential energy (CAPE), surface convective …

Basing on the catalogue of earthquakes with a magnitude of M≥ 4.5 for the period 1973–
2017, a UT variation with an amplitude of~ 10% in the number of earthquakes is revealed …

The current study is mainly focused on the monthly variation in the lightning flash rate (LFR)
and related thermodynamic parameters using the data for the years 2000–2013, and the …

Sprite halos are diffuse glow discharges in the D-region ionosphere triggered by the quasi-
electrostatic (QES) fields of lightning discharges. A three-dimensional (3D) QES model is …

Accurate lightning prediction stands as a pressing global challenge, demanding robust
solutions for safeguarding lives and valuable assets. In this study, we employ the mesoscale …

Experimental and theoretical investigations of a diffuse jet (streamer) of apokampic
discharge are carried out for various values of air pressure. It is established experimentally …

New experimental and computational data on apokamps produced by repetitive discharges
in air, including a detailed description of the research techniques used, are presented. It has …

In recent years, the studies in global electric circuit (GEC) have received additional interest
because of its potential to monitor climate and its use in representing the planets electrical …
