This study presents an analysis of a severe weather case study that took place during the early morning of the 2nd of November 2008, when intense convective activity associated to a rapidly evolving low pressure system ...

Five gigantic jets (GJ) have been recorded by a camera on March 7th 2010, at a very closedistance above an isolated tropical storm east of Réunion Island. Three of them were produced within about 4 minutes before the storm ...

[1] Two low-light cameras near Marfa, Texas, recorded a gigantic jet over northern Mexico on 13 May 2005 at approximately 0423:50 UTC. Assuming that the farthest of two candidate storm systems was its source, the bright ...

We introduce new methods for the analysis of complex three-dimensional lightning data produced by Lightning Mapping Arrays and illustrate them by cases of a mid-latitude severe weather producing thunderstorm and a tropical ...

The coordinated European campaign of TLE observation in 2007 involved several cameras in southern France and northern Spain and lasted several months of summer, fall, and winter. Thanks to good conditions of observation ...

During the night of October 29-30, 2013, a low-light video camera at Pic du Midi (2877 m) in the French Pyrénées, recorded TLEs above a very active storm over the Mediterranean Sea. The minimum cloud top temperature reached ...

What are the characteristics of lightning that influence the probability that an individual stroke will ignite a wildfire? It is generally accepted that long continuing current following some return strokes is the cause ...

Charge structure derived from lightning leader development of tropical thunderstorms comprising equatorial latitudes of < ±10° has not been investigated yet. In this work, using a Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) installed ...
