Data Used in Relationship between sprite current and morphology

Relationship Between Sprite Current and Morphology

“…Thirty-five of them had a sprite current signature (56%). This extensive data set is fully available online for the reader's reference (Contreras-Vidal et al, 2020). The fraction we report here contrasts with previous work by Cummer (2003), who reported a fraction of 10% sprite current signatures based on Extreme Low Frequencies (ELF) radiation observations (Cummer, Frey, et al, 2006).…”

“…The Phantom camera field of view is marked in this figure as a red rectangle. The full video is available to the reader at (Contreras-Vidal et al, 2020), and it shows in detail the described sprite dynamics.…”

Evidence and Inferred Mechanism of Collisions of Downward Stepped‐Leader Branches in Negative Lightning

“…Similar collisions in sprites were reported by Montanyà et al (2010, Figure 4) and Stenbaek-Nielsen et al (2013, Figure 7). Very complex behavior of sprite streamers (recorded at 100,000 frames per second), including collisions, was reported by McHarg et al (2019) (see also Contreras-Vidal et al, 2020).…”

They have found that the inner branches of a positive-streamer tree are negatively…”
