      Open Access
      We analyze a nighttime negative cloud-to-ground lightning flash in Colombia observed from the ground with a high-speed camera at 5,000 images per second and from space by the Atmosphere-Space Interactions Monitor (ASIM) ...

    • Seasonal variations on the conditions required for the lightning production 

      Salvador Yuste, Albert; Pineda Rüegg, Nicolau; Montañá Puig, Juan; Solà de las Fuentes, Glòria (2020-10-01)
      Article
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      Given the growing concern on lightning threats outside the main warm-season, the objective of this study is to get further insight on the seasonal variations of the necessary conditions required for the production of ...
