Inan, U.S., Sampson, W.A. and Taranenko, Y.N. (1996). Space-time structure of optical flashes and ionization changes produced by lighting-EMP. Geophysical Research Letters 23: doi: 10.1029/95GL03816. issn: 0094-8276.

Intense electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) released by lightning discharges produce bright optical emissions at 80--95 km altitudes emitted in a thin (~30 km) cylindrical shell expanding to radial distances of up to >150 km, lasting for ~400 &mgr;s, and appearing in limb-view as a thin layer with ~400 km lateral extent. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1996
