[22] [23] [24] [clarification needed] Upward lightning or ground-to-cloud lightning is a lightning flash which originates from the top of a grounded object and propagates upward from this ...
Representation of upper-atmospheric lightning and electrical-discharge phenomena. Atmosphere-Space Interactions Monitor (ASIM) is a project led by the European Space Agency to place cameras and X-ray/γ-ray detectors on the International Space Station to observe the upper atmosphere in order to study sprites, jets and elves and terrestrial gamma-ray flashes in connection with thunderstorms.

As lightning is influenced by climate change, there is a corresponding change to the lightning’s influence on climate. These changes can lead to further climate change, thus creating a climate change feedback. [173] Lightning leads to the production of tropospheric ozone and destruction of methane, both greenhouse gases and air pollutants ...
When seen from Earth, lightning appears both powerful and majestic, but when viewed from space, it can seem a little ghostly. Astronaut spots 'spooky' lightning on Earth from space Skip to main ...
