• Global Frequency and Geographical Distribution of Nighttime Streamer Corona Discharges (BLUEs) in Thunderclouds 

      Soler, S.; Gordillo-Vázquez, F.J.; Pérez-Invernón, F. J.; Luque, Alejandro; Li, D.; Neubert, Torsten; Chanrion, Olivier; Reglero, Victor; Navarro-Gonzalez, Javier; Østgaard, Nikolai (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Blue LUminous Events (BLUEs) are transient corona discharges occurring in thunderclouds and characterized by strong 337.0 nm light flashes with absent (or weak) 777.4 nm component. We present the first nighttime climatology ...
    • Modeling lightning observations from space-based platforms (CloudScat.jl 1.0) 

      Luque, Alejandro; Gordillo-Vázquez, Francisco José; Li, Dongshuai; Malagón-Romero, Alejandro; Pérez-Invernón, F. J.; Schmalzried, Anthony; Soler, Sergio; Chanrion, Olivier; Heumesser, Matthias; Neubert, Torsten; Reglero, Victor; Østgaard, Nikolai (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      We describe a computer code that simulates how a satellite observes optical radiation emitted by a lightning flash after it is scattered within an intervening cloud. Our code, CloudScat.jl, is flexible, fully open source ...
    • 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 ...
