在这项研究中，我们提出了连续测量闪电相关的瞬态发光事件（精灵，精灵和蓝色喷流）从国际空间站高度使用EUSO望远镜的可能性。根据全球闪电数据，我们估计了闪电和TLE的可能检测率。我们还估计了近紫外区（300 - 400 nm）的TLE的光子数和光谱，其中存在由CR引起的荧光发射。这些结果意味着EUSO不仅有足够的能力监测超级GZK CR，而且还有全球闪电和TLE。
In this study we present possibility of continuous measurements of lightning-associated transient luminous events (sprites, elves and blue jets) from the ISS altitude using the EUSO telescope. From global lightning data we estimated possible detection rates of lightning and TLEs. We also estimated photon numbers and optical spectra of TLEs in the near-ultraviolet region (300 – 400 nm) where the fluorescence emission caused by CRs exists. These results imply that EUSO has enough capabilities to monitor not only super-GZK CRs but also global lightning and TLEs.
