Terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs) are transient emissions from thunderstorms, generated by electrons accelerated to relativistic energies in electric fields. Elves ultraviolet and optical excited the lower ionosphere electromagnetic waves radiated lightning current pulses. We observed a TGF an associated elve using Atmosphere-Space Interactions Monitor on International Space Station. The occurred at onset of pulse that elve, early stage flash.

Abstract The Atmosphere‐Space Interactions Monitor measures Terrestrial Gamma‐Ray Flashes (TGFs) simultaneously with optical emissions from associated lightning activity. We analyzed measurements at 180–230, 337, and 777.4 nm related to 69 TGFs observed between June 2018 October 2019. All are 90% of them the onset a large pulse, suggesting that they connected initiation current surges. A model photon delay induced by cloud scattering suggests sources pulses 0.7 ms before 4.4 after TGFs,...

Abstract Blue electric streamer discharges in the upper reaches of thunderclouds are observed as flashes 337.0 nm (blue) with faint or no emissions 777.4 (red). Analyzing 3 years measurements by Atmosphere‐Space Interactions Monitor on International Space Station, we find that their distribution rise time falls into two categories. One fast times 30 μs less relatively unaffected cloud scattering and emanate from within ∼2 km tops, another longer deeper clouds. 50% cells generating shallow...

Abstract Wind turbine blades may suffer leading edge erosion when rain hits the extremely fast, resulting in blade damage that will negatively impact power production. Since wind turbines are growing size, this translates into higher tip speeds rotate and, therefore, more prone to erosion. mountainous terrain also due high winds and precipitation rates. Therefore, it becomes important estimate lifetimes farm sites with complexity. Blade lifetime prediction models utilize a time series of...

The Mediterranean Sea heavily relies on fossil fuels for its energy supply, but the shift toward green is imminent. Offshore wind farms represent a pivotal step in this transition. However, deploying these effectively requires an accurate assessment of potential offshore areas.Unlike Northern Europe, research sparse due to intricate topography and bathymetry. Mediterranean's coastlines, hemmed by mountain ranges, create unique climates, posing challenges modeling conditions. Additionally,...
