Atmospheric phenomena are observable physical processes and manifestations occurring within a planetary atmosphere, arising from interactions among radiation, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and ...

Thunderstorms host a rich variety of electrical discharges that span time-scales from microseconds to minutes and produce radiation extending from radio waves up to high-energy gamma rays. Intense ...

Lightning arises from complex charge separation within convective clouds and between cloud and ground, driving rapid electrical discharges that span scales from millimetres to kilometres. These ...

A study co-led by Irina Gorodetskaya, a researcher at the Interdisciplinary Center of Marine and Environmental Research (CIIMAR), brings together all up-to-date data on the phenomenon of atmospheric ...

A few weeks ago, a particularly strong lightning bolt was released over the Adriatic Sea, between the Italian and Balkan Peninsula. The electric field spread across the atmosphere, traveling hundreds ...
