Transient Luminous Events in the lower part of the Atmosphere originated in the Peripheral Regions of a Thunderstorm

TL;DR

This paper investigates transient luminous events in the lower atmosphere, linking them to disturbances in electric fields and particle fluxes during thunderstorms, providing insights into atmospheric electrical phenomena.

Contribution

It introduces observations of transient luminous events associated with electric field disturbances and particle flux enhancements during thunderstorms.

Findings

Transient luminous events correlate with near-surface electric field disturbances.

Events coincide with increased particle fluxes during thunderstorms.

Provides new observational data on lower atmospheric electrical phenomena.

Abstract

We present and discuss Transient Luminous Events in the lower atmosphere, observed during large disturbances of the near-surface electric fields (NSEF) and coinciding with large enhancements of the particle fluxes.
