Description:
Sprites are a category of Transient Luminous Events (TLEs) that occur in the upper atmosphere above the tops of Mesoscale Convective Systems (MCSs). They are commonly associated with lightning that produce large charge moment changes (CMCs). Synergistic use of satellite and radarretrieved observations together with sounding data, forecasts, and lightningdetection networks allowed the diagnosis and analysis of the meteorological conditions associated with sprites as well as largeCMC lightning over Oklahoma.
