Converging Luminosity in Column‐Sprite Filaments

Abstract Sprites are electrical discharges in the mesosphere powered by the quasi‐electrostatic field following a cloud‐to‐ground lightning stroke. They are luminous structures with tendrils formed by a space charge wave with high electric fields that ionizes the atmosphere, excites optical emission...
