Summary
Abstract: Image and wave frequency data from Stanford led experiments concerning the lightning phenomena, Red Sprites and Elves, are available here.

"Elves" are transient luminous events in the lower ionosphere produced by nitrogen fluorescence due to electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) from intense return strokes of lightning discharges. The Fly's Eye is an array of photomultipier tubes designed to ... View entire text
