Atmospheric plasmas  

Description

The goal is to provide insight into the physics of atmospheric plasmas. The focus will be on electric discharge plasmas and associated phenomena, as well as on cloud formation. The student will acquire basic knowledge of the microphysics of discharges, the inception and properties of discharges in various gas mixtures, transient luminous events (TLEs) and terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs). The acquired knowledge forms the foundation for further studies of cloud formation and electric discharges, both theoretically and through space data.
