对航天飞机有效载荷舱电视摄像机捕获的闪电视频图像进行检查和分析，提供了雷暴上方平流层闪电的各种例子。这些图像是在最近几次航天飞机飞行中进行中尺度闪电实验（MLE）时获得的。平流层闪电的图像说明了平流层中可能伴随闪电的各种丝状和广泛的垂直放电。典型的事件被成像为在雷暴上方延伸 30 至 40 公里的单根或多根细丝，并被一系列雷击照亮。温带和热带地区、海洋和陆地上空都有这样的例子。
An examination and analysis of video images of lightning, captured by the payload bay TV cameras of the space shuttle, provided a variety of examples of lightning in the stratosphere above thunderstorms. These images were obtained on several recent shuttle flights while conducting the Mesoscale Lightning Experiment (MLE). The images of stratospheric lightning illustrate the variety of filamentary and broad vertical discharges in the stratosphere that may accompany a lightning flash. A typical event is imaged as a single or multiple filament extending 30 to 40 km above a thunderstorm that is illuminated by a series of lightning strokes. Examples are found in temperate and tropical areas, over the oceans, and over the land.
