Abstract :
The Lightning Observatory in Gainesville (LOG), Florida, was established in 2004 primarily for measurements of electric and magnetic fields produced by lightning. More recently, an x-ray detector was added, and various optical instruments were used in different years. A number of new results have been obtained, most important of which are reviewed in this paper.
