• Recent advances in theory of transient luminous events (2010, background): “…2010 A00E35 1 of 24 discovery in 1989 several hundred papers have been published in refereed scientific literature reflecting advances in this new and exciting research area, and related research activities culminated in a first book on TLEs that appeared in print in 2006 [Fullekrug et al., 2006b].”
• Monte Carlo model for analysis of thermal runaway electrons in streamer tips in transient luminous events and streamer zones of lightning leaders (2006, background): “Figure 2 lists electric fields required to initiate various types of electrical breakdown in air (more details and related references may be found in the work of Pasko [2006]) and displays the respective force FE, in units of eV/cm, they apply to electrons in relationship to the friction force FD.”
• Red sprite discharges in the atmosphere at high altitude: the molecular physics and the similarity with laboratory discharges (2007, background): “Sprites and other TLEs are arguably the most dramatic recent discovery in solar-terrestrial physics [14].”
• Review of recent results on streamer discharges and discussion of their relevance for sprites and lightning (2010, background): “But simulations [Liu and Pasko, 2004, 2006; Pasko, 2007; Luque et al., 2007, 2008b] show that the effect is minor as long as the electric field far ahead of the streamer is below the breakdown threshold.”
• Lightning Related Transient Luminous Events at High Altitude in the Earth’s Atmosphere: Phenomenology, Mechanisms and Effects (2012, background): “The research activities related to TLEs culminated in a first book, that have appeared in print in 2006 (Fullekrug et al. 2006).”
• The global electrical circuit: A review (2009, background): “Recently established perturbations in ionization by lightning — sprites and elves — are believed to affect only the D region of the ionosphere (Füllekrug et al., 2006), not the E and F regions.”
