Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs) are bursts of gamma rays in the earth''s atmosphere. TGFs have been recorded to last 0.2 to 3.5 milliseconds, and have energies of up to 20 MeV. They are probably caused by electric fields produced above thunderstorms. Terrestrial gamma-ray flashes were first discovered in 1994 by BATSE, or Burst and Transient Source Experiment, on the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory, a NASA spacecraft (Fishman et al. 1994). A subsequent study from Stanford University in 1996 linked a TGF to an individual lightning strike occurring within a few ms of the TGF. BATSE detected only a small number of TGF events in nine years, due to its having been constructed to study gamma rays from outer space, which last much longer.
