Continental-Scale Lightning Observations at High Frequency
Journal Article Geophysical Research Letters · October 28, 2025 We initiated high-frequency (HF, 3–30 MHz) lightning observations to remotely study lightning processes using skywave propagation. HF lightning skywaves were detected at distances up to 3,300 km (potentially farther) during both day and night, with over 64 ...

Journal Article Geophysical Research Letters · June 28, 2025 The automatic classification of lightning discharge processes is a critical challenge in both lightning physics research and protection. Despite recent advancements in artificial intelligence-based classification models, rely on supervised learning, which ...

Journal Article Journal of Geophysical Research Atmospheres · October 28, 2024 Using a 30–250 MHz VHF interferometer, we observed a previously unreported mode of initial lightning development inside thunderclouds. This mode is defined by continuous VHF radiation spanning several km within the first few milliseconds of lightning initi ... Full text CiteRecent Grants
