• Lightning Related Transient Luminous Events at High Altitude in the Earth’s Atmosphere: Phenomenology, Mechanisms and Effects (2012, methodology): “Chen et al. (2008) and Hsu et al. (2009) analyzed ISUAL data during an extended time period from 2004 to 2009 and reported the occurrence rate of TLEs of different types: 72, 3.7 and 1 per minute for elves, halos and sprites, respectively.”
• The Pierre Auger Cosmic Ray Observatory (2015, methodology): “The first clear observation of ELVES was made using a high-speed photometer [144]; more recently such phenomena were studied using both ground based photometers [145–147] and satellite missions [148].”
• A survey of ELF and VLF research on lightning-ionosphere interactions and causative discharges (2010, methodology): “Lev‐Tov et al. [1995] used the model of Poulsen et al. [1993b] to compare simulations with observed LEP events, and from comparisons extracted information about the altitude profiles of both the ambient electron density and the disturbed ionosphere.”
• High-Energy Atmospheric Physics: Terrestrial Gamma-Ray Flashes and Related Phenomena (2012, background): “…that of elves (expanding glows within the ionosphere caused by lightning), which are relatively much more common over the ocean than lightning in general, and sprites (discharges in the upper atmosphere caused by lightning), which are less likely than TGFs to avoid mid-latitudes (Chen et al. 2008).”
• The physics of lightning (2014, methodology): “TGFs were originally assumed to originate from high-altitude discharges (i.e., Sprites), but it is now known that they originate from thundercloud altitudes, usually in association with IC lightning.”
