Physics:Compact intracloud discharge

From HandWiki
Short description: Intensive form of lightning that produces radio waves and scarce visible light

A compact intracloud discharge (CID), also known as a narrow bipolar event (NBE) or narrow bipolar pulse (NBP) is an intensive form of lightning that produces radio waves and scarce visible light.[1] Lasting only a few millionths of a second (typically 20 us), these events are the most powerful known natural terrestrial source of radio waves in HF and VHF band.[2] They are not well understood scientifically.
