In-situ Electrodynamics over Sprite Producing Storms in Southern Brazil

在巴西开展了四项活动，在具有精灵生产潜力的大雷暴系统上空发射平流层气球飞行，以测量相关的电磁场和x射线通量。第一个关于电场、电动力学、光学发射和100公里内精灵x射线产生的数据被组装起来，并用于提高我们对潜在精灵物理和精灵能量学的理解。这些数据被广泛传播，并作为现有精灵模型的输入。

Four campaigns launching stratospheric balloon flights above large thunderstorm systems with sprite production potential are executed in Brazil to measure associated electromagnetic fields and X-ray fluxes. The first data pertaining to the electric field, electrodynamics, optical emissions, and X-ray production within 100 km of a sprite are assembled, and used to improve our understanding of underlying sprite physics and sprite energetics. The data are broadly disseminated and cast as input to existing sprite models.
