    • First 10 Months of TGF Observations by ASIM 

      Østgaard, Nikolai; Neubert, Torsten; Reglero, Victor; Ullaland, Kjetil; Yang, Shiming; Genov, Georgi; Marisaldi, Martino; Mezentsev, Andrey; Kochkin, Pavlo; Lehtinen, Nikolai; Sarria, David; Qureshi, Bilal Hasan; Solberg, Arne Olav; Maiorana, Carolina; Albrechtsen, Kjetil; Budtz-Jørgensen, Carl; Kuvvetli, Irfan; Christiansen, Freddy; Chanrion, Olivier; Heumesser, Matthias; Navarro-Gonzalez, Javier; Connell, Paul H.; Eyles, Christopher J; Christian, Hugh J.; Al-Nussirat, Samer (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      The Atmosphere‐Space Interactions Monitor (ASIM) was launched to the International Space Station on 2 April 2018. The ASIM payload consists of two main instruments, the Modular X‐ray and Gamma‐ray Sensor (MXGS) for imaging ...

    • Gamma Ray Glow Observations at 20-km Altitude 

      Østgaard, Nikolai; Christian, Hugh J.; Grove, J. Eric; Sarria, David; Mezentsev, Andrey; Kochkin, Pavlo; Lehtinen, Nikolai; Quick, Mason; Al-Nussirat, Samer; Wulf, Eric; Genov, Georgi; Ullaland, Kjetil; Marisaldi, Martino; Yang, Shiming; Blakeslee, Richard J. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      In the spring of 2017 an ER‐2 aircraft campaign was undertaken over continental United States to observe energetic radiation from thunderstorms and lightning. The payload consisted of a suite of instruments designed to ...

    • On the timing between terrestrial gamma ray flashes, radio atmospherics, and optical lightning emission 

      Gjesteland, Thomas; Østgaard, Nikolai; Bitzer, Phillip; Christian, Hugh J. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      On 25 October 2012 the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscope Imager (RHESSI) and the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellites passed over a thunderstorm on the coast of Sri Lanka. RHESSI observed a ...

    • A Rapid Gamma-Ray Glow Flux Reduction Observed From 20 km Altitude 

      Kochkin, Pavlo; Sarria, David Alexandre Stephan; Lehtinen, Nikolai Grigorievich; Mezentsev, Andrey; Yang, Shiming; Genov, Georgi; Ullaland, Kjetil; Marisaldi, Martino; Østgaard, Nikolai; Christian, Hugh J.; Grove, J.E.; Quick, M.; Al-Nussirat, S.; Wulf, E (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Two gamma-ray glows were observed by a high-altitude NASA ER-2 aircraft flying at 20 km altitude over a thunderstorm in Colorado, USA. The flux of the first glow rapidly intensified and then abruptly decreased within a few ...

    • Spectral Observations of Optical Emissions Associated With Terrestrial Gamma-Ray Flashes 

      Heumesser, Matthias; Chanrion, Olivier; Neubert, Torsten; Christian, Hugh J.; Dimitriadou, Krystallia; Gordillo-Vazquez, Francisco J.; Luque, Alejandro; Pérez-Invernón, F. J.; Blakeslee, Richard J.; Østgaard, Nikolai; Reglero, Victor; Köhn, Christoph (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The Atmosphere-Space Interactions Monitor measures Terrestrial Gamma-Ray Flashes (TGFs) simultaneously with optical emissions from associated lightning activity. We analyzed optical measurements at 180–230, 337, and 777.4 ...

    • Time domain simulations of preliminary breakdown pulses in natural lightning 

      Carlson, Brant Edward; Liang, Can; Bitzer, Phillip M.; Christian, Hugh J. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-06)
      Lightning discharge is a complicated process with relevant physical scales spanning many orders of magnitude. In an effort to understand the electrodynamics of lightning and connect physical properties of the channel to ...
