Abstract

The observing as well as sounding of lightning releases and their related phenomea (mesospheric optical outflows and so on.) has been performed by radio and optical estimations. We focus on the winter lightning in the Hokuriku region (Japan Sea side) of Japan, since it is critical to explore whether lighting releases in the Hokuriku territory (entire spatial scale is generally little in correlation with the traditional summer lightning in the US) could trigger the mesospheric optical emanations. The optical perception of those mesospheric emanations and the comparing radio sounding by ELF and VHF radio waves of their parent lightning, have been accounted for. The watching frameworks are initially exhibited, and our most recent observational certainties on the mesospheric outflows in the Hokuriku territory, their parent lightning and some PC recreations on the sprite start, are introduced.
