This proposal requests support for a continuation of the SKYFLASH program. The program at present is concerned with three types of investigations, all concerned with phenomena in the upper atmosphere and inner magnetosphere, as follows: Lightning and thunderstorms; Aurora Borealis; and A third category which includes observations of meteors, exploding meteors or "bolides", and a continuing search for rare cosmic events in the original sense of "SKYFLASH".

本提案要求支持SKYFLASH计划的延续。该计划目前涉及三种类型的调查，都涉及高层大气和内部磁层的现象，如下：闪电和雷暴；北极光;第三类包括对流星、爆炸流星或“火流星”的观测，以及对“SKYFLASH”最初意义上的罕见宇宙事件的持续探索。
