Scientific paper

Large lightning discharges can drive electromagnetic pulses that cause
breakdown of the neutral atmosphere between 80 and 95 km leading to
order of magnitude increases in the plasma density. The increase in the
plasma density leads to increased reflection and absorption, and limits
the pulse strength that propagates higher into the ionosphere.
