Abstract:<p>In this presentation we will provide an overview and present preliminary results from a multi-institutional collaborative project, which seeks to detect gigantic jets over hemispheric scales using a combination orbital and ground-based sensors and machine learning. Gigantic jets are a type of transient luminous event (TLE, Pasko 2010, doi: 10.1029/2009JA014860) that escape the cloud top of a thunderstorm and propagate up to the lower ionosphere (80-100 km altitude), transferring tens to hundre… Show more
