Sprites, Transient Luminous Events, 1999 Balloon Campaign

Scientific paper

Historically, the process of transient luminous event (TLE) detection has required an alert human observer on a low light level television (LLTV) monitor, either in real time or playback. The 1999 Sprites Balloon Campaign payloads had all-sky upward looking photometers not sensitive to events below the balloons. The photometer data was examined at the time of National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN) lightening strokes to find TLEs that were missed visually. 3602 events were analyzed in 4.1 h of storm time. Threshold current moments of ~50 kA km for the positive cloud to ground (+CG) TLEs and ~-5 kA km for negative cloud to ground (-CG) TLEs are found.
