| Scope |
Lightning is the energetic manifestation of electrical breakdown, occurring after charge separation processes operating on micro and macro-scales, leading to strong electric fields within thunderstorms. Lightning is always associated with severe weather and tropical storms like typhoons and hurricanes, often accompanied by torrential rains and flash floods. It has significant chemical and physical effects on the troposphere and mesosphere and drives the fair-weather electric field. This session seeks contributions on the meteorology of thunderstorms, the detection of thunderstorms from space and ground networks, the climatic effects of thunderstorms and their impact on the global circuit, and lightning in relation with middle atmospheric transient luminous events (e.g sprites).
