Employing optical lightning data to identify lightning flashes associated to terrestrial gamma-ray flashes Open
Terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs) are bursts of energetic X- and gamma-rays emitted from thunderstorms. The Atmosphere-Space Interactions Monitor (ASIM) mounted onto the International Space Station (ISS) is dedicated to measure TGFs and…

Observation of Blue Corona Discharges and Cloud Microphysics in the Top of Thunderstorm Cells in Cyclone Fani Open
Blue corona discharges are often observed at the top of thunderclouds. They are bursts of streamers, but the cloud conditions that enable them are not well known. Here we present observations by the Atmosphere‐Space Interactions Monitor (A…
