A detailed technical description of the simple telescopic photometers used in the project SKYFLASH and their mode of operation including the detection of polarized Rayleigh-scattered flashes is provided. Distant lightning storms account for many of the events, and the complex relations between short and long luminous pulses with and without sferics are shown by examples from a new computerized data system, supplemented by two low-light-level TV cameras. Of particular interest area previously observed 'long' events which may be due to plume cloud top lightning. An alternative source may be exploding meteors, recently identified during SKYFLASH observations by low-light-level television techniques as the origin of some sky-wide flash events described }, keywords={ astronomical instruments astronomical photometry astronomical techniques atmospheric measuring apparatus atmospheric optics lightning meteors sky brightness measurement atmosphere optics sky brightness long event meteor AD 1992 fast low level light pulse light flash astronomy distant lightning telescope photometer instrumentation night sky SKYFLASH program subvisual increases luminosity luminous pulses sferics plume cloud top lightning exploding meteors sky-wide flash }, mynotes={UNREAD}, } /usr/tmp/citation.tmp.14228 @ARTICLE{DreschhoffJun90, author={Dreschhoff, G.A.M. and Zeller, E.J.}, title={ Evidence of individual solar proton events in Antarctic snow }, journal={Sol. Phys. (Netherlands), Solar Physics}, volume={127}, number={2}, year={1990}, month={Jun}, pages={333-46}, abstract={ High-resolution nitrate analyses of a snow sequence in Antarctica reveals that the snow contains a chemical record of ionization from charged particles incident upon the upper atmosphere. The signal results from the ionization of nitrogen and oxygen, which subsequently react to form oxides of nitrogen. The nitrogen oxides are ultimately oxidized to nitric acid and incorporated in snow crystals. Variations in nitrate concentration average about 53% (one standard deviation) of the mean concentration for the entire core. Short pulses of high nitrate concentration show a variance of up to 11 standard deviations above the mean. A times series derived from a total of 1393 individual analyses shows a statistically significant modulation of the background signal that is clearly traceable to solar activity. Several anomalously large concentration peaks correlate with the major solar proton events of August 1972, July 1946, and the white-light flare of July 1928 }, keywords={ cosmic ray protons geochemistry geochronology geophysical aspects of cosmic rays snow solar cosmic ray particles solar flares solar-terrestrial relationships upper atmosphere ionisation ice sheet stratigraphy solar cosmic ray particles solar flares Sun background nitrate modulation AD 1972 08 AD 1946 07 AD 1928 07 firn core UV spectrophotometry stratosphere mesosphere AD 1927 to 1988 individual solar proton events Antarctic snow snow sequence Antarctica charged particles snow crystals nitrate concentration solar activity anomalously large concentration peaks August 1972 July 1946 white-light flare July 1928 61 yr 0.29 to 440 MeV atmospheric NO/sub x/ formation N ionisation atmospheric HNO/sub 3/ O ionisation }, mynotes={UNREAD}, } /usr/tmp/citation.tmp.14228 @ARTICLE{NemzekSep89, author={Nemzek, R.J. and Winckler, J.R.}, title={ Observation and interpretation of fast sub-visual light pulses from the night sky }, journal={Geophysical Research Letters}, volume={16}, number={9}, year={1989}, month={Sep}, pages={1015-18}, abstract={ Fast large aperture photometers directed at the zenith on clear nights near Minneapolis have recorded many light pulses in the millisecond time range, but aside from man-made events these were almost entirely due to Rayleigh scattered distant lightning, with a residual very low rate (<0.1/hr) of unidentified pulses.

It is argued that magnetic forces play a controlling part in the dynamics of these transients. Two classes of models of coronal transients, with gas pressure, temperature and magnetic pressure pulses, are studied: in the first class of models the transients are described as single structures which move through the corona, with the surrounding corona only providing the driving magnetic field; whereas in the second class (continuum models) it is assumed that transients are perturbations of a stationary corona caused by rapid changes at the lower boundary of the corona (i.e. the solar chromosphere) }, keywords={ magnetohydrodynamics plasma solar activity solar corona solar magnetism coronal transients dynamics Sun solar magnetism single structure models corona lower boundary stationary corona perturbations plasma MHD coronal transients X-ray transients white light transients solar corona magnetic forces gas pressure magnetic pressure pulses driving magnetic field continuum models solar chromosphere }, mynotes={UNREAD}, } /usr/tmp/citation.tmp.14228 @CONFERENCE{Kane74, author={Kane, S.R.}, title={ Impulsive (flash) phase of solar flares: Hard X-ray, microwave, EUV and optical observations }, booktitle={Coronal Disturbances}, volume={}, number={}, year={1974}, month={}, pages={105-41}, abstract={ Recent observations of impulsive hard X-ray, microwave, EUV and optical emissions during solar flares are briefly reviewed in order to deduce the characteristics of the impulsive (flash) phase phenomenon in small solar flares particularly from the point of view of the acceleration of electrons and their role in producing the various impulsive phase emissions.
