Seasonal wind turbine-associated lightning in Central Europe

Martin Kákona, Robin Duspara, Zbyněk Sokol, Jana Popová et autres

We report systematic evidence for a statistically distinguishable subset of cold-season lightning episodes in Central Europe that shows a distinct and recurrent association with wind turbines. Using Blitzortung stroke data from 2021 to 2024, ENTLN classifications from 2023, and local electric-field measurements, …

Exploring the potential of aerial and balloon-based observations in the study of terrestrial gamma ray flashes

Marek Sommer, Tomáš Czakoj, Iva Ambrožová, Martin Kákona et autres

Abstract. Recently presented measurements of Terrestrial Gamma Ray Flashes (TGF) above thunderstorms onboard aircraft and weather balloons introduce viable alternatives which could help to overcome limitations inherent in satellite-based observations, such as significant gamma ray attenuation by the atmosphere. This study explores …

An exceptionally strong gamma-ray glow at Lomnický štít observed by an unprecedented number of ionizing radiation sensors

Jakub Šlegl, Martin Kákona, Ronald Langer, Igor Strhárský et autres

The summer season of 2023 brought to Lomnický štít (Slovakia) one of the strongest gamma-ray glows (GrGs) ever recorded. As Lomnický štít is a unique observation point for GrGs, we equipped the observatory with multiple detectors in the frame of the CRREAT …

Seasonal Wind Turbine-Associated Lightning in Central Europe

Martin Kákona, Zbyněk Sokol, Robin Duspara, Jana Popová et autres

We report systematic evidence that cold-season lightning in Central Eu- rope frequently occurs in close proximity to wind turbines. Using Blitzor- tung stroke data (2021–2024), ENTLN data (2023), and electric field mea- surements, we identify a recurring phenomenon - Seasonal Wind Turbine- …

First reported detection of a winter continental gamma-ray glow in Europe

Jakub Šlegl, Zbyněk Sokol, Petr Pešice, Ronald Langer et autres

This study presents the first-ever published detection of two parallel winter continental gamma-ray glows in Central Europe, observed during a rare winter thunderstorm on Milešovka hill, Czech Republic. The combination of the hill's altitude of 837 m above sea level (a.s.l.) and …
