More Information
Summary:Information about the main characteristics of sprites and related lightning discharges is given. Results are presented of the analysis of atmospherics recorded using the IZMIRAN mobile equipment at the expedition site near the Levaya Avacha River in September, October 2002 and in August, November 2004 on the Kamchatka Peninsula. The results of the analysis are given of electromagnetic emission from lightning discharges that occurred on the Kamchatka Peninsula in July and August 2017 that were recorded by the equipment of the Institute of Cosmophysical Research and Radio Wave Propagation, Far Eastern Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences at the Karymshina expedition site are presented. The percentage of positive lightning discharges on the western and southern coasts of the Kamchatka Peninsula, which can be associated with sprites has been estimated.
