Abstract :
We describe recent coordinated observations of radio emissions and terrestrial gamma ray flashes (TGFs) that provide new insight into the detailed processes that generate this thunderstorm-driven high-energy radiation. These observations include lightning mapping array measurements of the structure and development of a lightning flash that produced a TGF, and high time resolution observations of the specific lightning processes associated with three TGFs.
