DESCRIPTION:This study presents a detailed analysis of multiple lightning f
 lashes detected over Europe in the time period from 2020 to 2023\, with a 
 specific focus on the preliminary breakdown stage (PB). By integrating dat
 a from the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) aboard the International Space S
 tation (ISS) and ground-based magnetic measurements from the Shielded Loop
  Antenna with Versatile Integrated Amplifier (SLAVIA) detectors situated a
 t different locations in Europe\, we study the relationship between electr
 omagnetic radiation emitted during different stages of lightning flashes a
 nd their corresponding optical characteristics observed from space. We fin
 d a consistent trend in all studied flashes\, revealing that the PB stage 
 manifests the highest radiance and the most extensive lightning group foot
 print reported by LIS. This noteworthy finding establishes that the light 
 emitted during the PB stage can be distinctly observable from low Earth or
 bit.\n\nCo-sponsored by: EPFL EMC Lab\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Andrea Kolinska\,
