UHU

The UHU experiment aims to study Transient Luminous Events (TLEs) - electrical phenomena associated with thunderstorms which produce bursts of light reaching altitudes of up to 100 km. By recording various TLEs from orbit, coordinating ground and space-based observations, and measuring electrical parameters, the research can understand more about the nature and causes of TLEs. This could improve our knowledge of thunderstorms and atmospheric processes, which could enhance weather forecasting, improve safety in storm-prone areas, and advance our understanding of atmospheric electricity.
