DEMETER satellite observations of lightning-induced electron precipitation

DEMETER satellite observations of lightning-induced electron precipitation

DEMETER spacecraft detects short bursts of lightning‐induced electron precipitation (LEP) simultaneously with newly‐injected upgoing whistlers, and sometimes also with once‐reflected (from conjugate hemisphere) whistlers. For the first time causative lightning discharges are definitively geo‐located...

Zusammenfassung:DEMETER spacecraft detects short bursts of lightning‐induced electron precipitation (LEP) simultaneously with newly‐injected upgoing whistlers, and sometimes also with once‐reflected (from conjugate hemisphere) whistlers. For the first time causative lightning discharges are definitively geo‐located for some LEP bursts aboard a satellite. The LEP bursts occur within
