• Lightning charge moment changes for the initiation of sprites (2002, background): “However, the low but non-zero probability for sprite initiation after relatively small charge moment changes suggests that in certain conditions other factors may play a role in helping to initiate a sprite [Pasko et al., 1997b; Zabotin and Wright, 2001; Wescott et al., 2001].”
• The atmospheric global electric circuit : An overview (2007, background): “Sprites appear as cluster of short lived (~ 50 ms) pinkish red luminous columns, stretching from ~ 30 to 90 km altitude having width less than one km (Lyons, 1996; Neubert, 2003) and the maximum brightness at 66 km altitude (Wescott et al., 2001).”
