Although elves and halos are supposed to be more frequent than sprites, ground campaigns still have less probability of recording their images due to their fleeting and short emission. The second shortest is the halo emission. Lee Marshall, a graduate student in electrical engineering, and his colleague Walt Lyons, a meteorologist with FMA Research of Colorado, have discovered that they are linked to a particular kind of lightning The typical elve has the shortest emission time (<1 ms) in comparison with other TLEs. They are bright flashes in the atmosphere, optical occurrences that extend through the mesosphere and stratosphere into the lower ionosphere. We aren't talking about small supernatural beings, although these sprites and elves are elusive. Home Elves atmosphere Sprites and Elves in the Atmosphere Penn State Universit
