Evidence for continuing current in sprite-producing cloud-to-ground lightning

Includes bibliographical references (page 3642). Radio atmospherics launched by sprite producing positive cloud-to-ground lightning flashes and observed at Palmer Station, Antarctica, exhibit large ELF slow tails following the initial VLF portion, indicating the presence of continuing currents in th...
