On the association of terrestrial gamma-ray bursts with lightning and implications for sprites
Includes bibliographical references (page [1020]). Measurements of ELF/VLF radio atmospherics (sferics) at Palmer Station, Antarctica, provide evidence of active thunderstorms near the inferred source regions of two different gamma-ray bursts of terrestrial origin [Fishman et al., 1994]. In one case...
