Sprite Emissions

Sprite Emissions is a transient luminous event characterized by large-scale electrical discharges in the mesosphere above thunderstorms, distinguished from other upper atmospheric phenomena by their direct association with cloud-to-ground lightning and their resultant optical emissions in the red and near-infrared spectrum.
