Scientific paper

This paper describes the instruments used in the Wave Induced Particle Precipitation campaign in 1987, in which one rocket and four balloons were launched near thunderstorms from the NASA Wallops Flight Facility. Examples of both the lightning events and the anomalous optical events (AOEs) detected on July 31, 1987 are presented. It is shown that the signatures of these AOEs differ from those of well-known optical sources in the atmosphere. It was found that AOEs were sometimes associated with subionospheric VLF signal perturbations (Trimpi events), suggesting a possibility that AOEs might be linked to a disturbance of the electron concentration in the high-altitude atmosphere or lower ionosphere.
