Energetic Intracloud Lightning in the RELAMPAGO Field Campaign.

ABSTRACT: A particular strength of lightning remote sensing is the variety of lightning types observed, each with a unique occurrence context and characteristically different emission. Distinct energetic intracloud (EIC) lightning discharges-compact intracloud lightning discharges (CIDs) and energetic intracloud pulses (EIPs)-produce intense RF radiation, suggesting large currents inside the cloud, and they also have different production mechanisms and occurrence contexts. A Low-Frequency (LF) lightning remote sensing instrument array was deployed during the RELAMPAGO field campaign in west central Argentina, designed to investigate convective storms that produce high-impact weather. LF data from the campaign can provide a valuable data set for researching the lightning context of EICs in a variety
