SAETTA (Suivi de l’Activité Electrique Tridimensionnelle Totale de l’Atmosphère) detects and localizes in three dimensions the electromagnetic radiation emitted by atmospheric discharges in the VHF 60-66 MHz band. It provides […]
The CORSiCA Platform for Atmospheric Observations (PCOA) of the Aerology Laboratory is located in Corsica on about fifteen sites to respond to the different themes studied by participants from several […]
Several studies indicate that the electrical activity should increase in warmer climate scenario with less numerous but more severe thunderstorms. The expected increase of dangerous electrical atmospheric phenomenon then requires […]
