“…Volcanic jets can produce a wide range of electrical phenomena (Aizawa et al, ; Behnke & Eric, ; Gilbert et al, ; Hatakeyama, ; Hatakeyama & Uchikawa,1951; Houlié et al, ; James et al, , ; Kikuchi & Endoh, ; McNutt & Williams, 2010; Miura et al, , ; Thomas et al, ). Large eruptions are often accompanied by brilliant displays of lightning, testifying to the high electrical potentials that can be generated by a diverse set of electrification mechanisms (including fractocharging, triboelectrification, and electrification processes similar to those found in thunderstorms; Cimarelli et al, ; Gilbert et al, ; Méndez Harper et al, ; James et al, ; Kikuchi & Endoh, ; Méndez Harper & Dufek, ). Beyond signals at optical wavelengths, volcanic lightning generates a wide array of electromagnetic (EM) signals that can be recorded from afar.…”
