Abstract The Lightning Cluster Filter Algorithm in the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM)
ground system identifies lightning flashes from the stream of event detections. It excels at …

Atmospheric electricity has been intensively studied during the last 30 years after the
discovery in 1989 of different forms of upper atmospheric electrical discharges (so–called …

Occasionally, lightning will exit the top of a thunderstorm and connect to the lower edge of
space, forming a gigantic jet. Here, we report on observations of a negative gigantic jet that …

Lightning with continuing current may have current durations that last for hundreds of
milliseconds, resulting in continuous optical emission that coincides with the uninterrupted …

In 2002 it was discovered that a lightning discharge can rise out of the top of tropical
thunderstorms and branch out spectacularly to the base of the ionosphere at 90 km altitude …

Optical lightning observations from space reveal a wide range of flash structure. Lightning
imagers such as the Geostationary Lightning Mapper and Lightning Imaging Sensor …

Optical space‐based lightning sensors including NOAA's Geostationary Lightning Mapper
(GLM) detect lightning though its transient illumination of the surrounding clouds. What …

Lightning discharges are the electrical production in thunderclouds. They radiate the bulk of
radio signals in the very low-frequency and low-frequency (VLF/LF) that can be detected by …

We use the coincident optical and radio‐frequency (RF) measurements taken by the Fast On‐
orbit Recording of Transient Events (FORTE) satellite to shed light on common optical …

Abstract At about 22: 43: 30 BJT (Bei**g Time= UTC+ 8) on 13 August 2016, two amateur
astronomers in Shikengkong, Guangdong province, and Jiahe County, Hunan province …
