| Session Description | Presentations are invited on the topics related to recent progresses on the observations, techniques, and theoretical modeling to investigate the physical processes involved in lightning and the coupling between troposphere and near-earth space (including stratosphere and ionosphere) via thunderstorms, lightning, gravity waves, Transient Luminous Events (TLEs), Terrestrial Gamma-ray Flash (TGF), Lidar, and etc. These studies investigate the physical and chemical processes in thunderstorms and lightning, and their effects and impacts on the lower, middle and upper atmosphere through atmospheric transport processes, TLE-related perturbations in the middle/upper atmosphere, temperature changes, gas concentration variations, chemical changes, and other coupling processes between the lower atmosphere and the near-earth space environment. |
