Atmospheric Electrical Activity in central Argentina and its relationship with phenomena observed at the Auger Observatory

Abstract Thunderstorms in Argentina have great spatial variability explained by various mechanisms on different spatio-temporal scales, associated with the meridional extension and orography of region. The Pierre Auger Observatory is located Mendoza Province central-western where unique meteorological geographical conditions result a high spacial density convective storms. Atmospheric electrical activity (AEA) produces Transient Luminous Events (TLEs) which ELVES are most prominent members extraordinary family that includes halos, jetstorms, sprites. Northern Southern Brazil prolific producers TLEs, can be observed at Fluorescence Detector (FD) 24 UV telescope. In this work, we present characterization AEA study region important characteristics to aid understanding dynamical or microphysical processes could act formation TLEs.
