Meteorological study of the first observation of red sprites from Poland

Climatology of Transient Luminous Events and Lightning Observed Above Europe and the Mediterranean Sea

“…These campaigns allowed a great number of detailed studies using specific European TLE events and thunderstorms. This includes investigations of radio signatures of TLEs and thunderstorm-induced effects onto the atmosphere (Haldoupis et al, 2004;Mika et al, 2005;Haldoupis et al, 2006;Mika et al, 2006;Farges et al, 2007;Greenberg et al, 2009;Haldoupis et al, 2010;NaitAmor et al, 2010;Füllekrug et al, 2010Füllekrug et al, , 2011; investigations on infrasound signatures of sprites (Farges et al, 2005;Ignaccolo et al, 2008;Farges and Blanc, 2010); metereology of TLEs and of their producing thunderstorm (Ignaccolo et al, 2006;van der Velde et al, 2006;Ganot et al, 2007;Bór et al, 2009;Iwański et al, 2009;Savtchenko et al, 2009;Vadislavsky et al, 2009;Yair et al, 2009;Soula et al, 2010;Mäkelä et al, 2010;van der Velde et al, 2010b;Bór et al, 2018); the morphological aspects of various sprite-types (Bór, 2013). A general collection of research related to Eurosprite was included in Füllekrug et al (2006) and presented by Neubert et al (2008).…”

“…First TLE research observations in Poland have been carried out during a two-week field campaign at Mount Sniezka (50.74 N, 15.74 E), the highest peak of the Sudetest, in July 2007 organized as part of Eurosprite (Odzimek et al, 2008;Iwański et al, 2009). Since summer 2011, research observations have also been made sporadically from Gliwice (50.28 N,18.65 E) with azimuth 180-300 and from Swider (52.01 N, 21.39 E) with azimuth 300-50 .…”
