Blue jets and gigantic jets
An overview of general phenomenology and proposed physical mechanisms of large scale electrical discharges termed ‘blue jets’ and ‘gigantic jets’ observed at high altitude in the Earth’s atmosphere above thunderstorms is presented. The primary emphasis is placed on summarizing available experimental data on the observed morphological features of upward jet discharges and on the discussion of re...
متن کاملMonitoring tropospheric pollution using infrared spectroscopy from geostationary orbit
This paper presents the Geostationary Fourier Imaging Spectrometer (GeoFIS), a new satellite instrument that has been proposed to monitor tropospheric key pollutants (O3, CO) in order to improve the predictive capability of tropospheric chemistry models. The horizontal resolution of GeoFIS is about 15× 15 km2 and the temporal resolution is about 60 minutes. It is shown that the current instrume...
متن کاملModel of UV flashes due to gigantic blue jets
Analysis of UV flashes observed by the UV detector on board the ‘Tatiana’ microsatellite suggests, based on their location, pulse width and energy of the source of the photons, that the flashes were generated by gigantic blue jets (GBJs). Presented in this paper is a numerical model of UV flashes due to a bunch of long streamers which form a leader, a prong such as that observed in a GBJ. Using...
متن کاملOne year in orbit of the first Geostationary Ocean Colour Imager (GOCI)
Geostationary Ocean Colour Imager (GOCI) is the first Ocean Colour Imager to operate from a Geostationary Orbit. It was developed by Astrium SAS under KARI contract in about 3 years between mid 2005 and October 2008 and integrated on-board COMS satellite end 2008 aside the COMS Meteo Imager (MI). COMS satellite was launched in June 2010 and the in-orbit commissioning tests were completed in beg...
متن کاملLearning about Jets from Observations of Blazars
Jets, paving their way outward through the inner regions of active nuclei, Compton-interact with the UV radiation from an accretion disc and broad emission line region. We calculate the predicted properties of the resulting spectral signatures of this bulk-Compton process, noting that they are independent on the fractional proton content or kinetic power of the jet, and use the presence or abse...
