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...

Theoretical Modeling of Sprites and Jets

An overview of the recent modeling efforts directed on interpretation of observed features of transient luminous events (TLEs) termed sprites, blue jets, blue starters and gigantic jets is presented. The primary emphasis is placed on discussion of similarity properties of gas discharges and interpretation and classification of the observed features of TLEs in the context of previous experimenta...

Model 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...

Gigantic jets with negative and positive polarity streamers

[1] The ISUAL gigantic jets (GJs) are categorized into three types from their generating sequence and spectral properties. Generating sequence of the type I GJs resembles that reported previously; after the fully developed jet (FDJ) established the discharge channel, the ISUAL photometers registered a peak that was from a return‐stroke‐like process. The associated ULF (ultra‐low‐frequency) sfer...

High-altitude electrical discharges associated with thunderstorms and lightning

The purpose of this paper is to introduce electrical discharge phenomena known as transient luminous events above thunderstorms to the lightning protection community. Transient luminous events include the upward electrical discharges from thunderstorms known as starters, jets, and gigantic jets, and electrical discharges initiated in the lower ionosphere such as sprites, halos, and elves. We gi...
