Citizen Science Observation of a Gamma‐Ray Glow Associated With the Initiation of a Lightning Flash

Abstract Gamma‐ray glows are observational evidence of relativistic electron acceleration due to the electric field in thunderclouds. However, it is yet to be understood whether such relativistic electrons contribute to the initiation of lightning discharges. To tackle this question, we started the...
