Estimating the electron energy and the strength of the electric field within sprites using ground-based optical data observed over South African storms
(Elsevier, 2021)
We present a new simplified method to estimate the characteristic electron energy and electric field within a mesospheric transient luminous event using ground-based calibrated and filtered optical data. We assume ...
The altitude of sprites observed over South Africa
(Academy of Science of South Africa, 2021)
Sprites are mesospheric optical emissions that are mostly produced by large, positive cloud-to-ground lightning discharges. Sprites appear in different morphologies such as carrot, jellyfish and column, and are typically ...
