In two studies published in the journal “Nature”, thunderstorms were examined through high-altitude flights.
Research has found that the new type of gamma ray emission detected in thunderstorms is more common than previously known gamma ray types.
It was stated that the rays called “gamma ray flashes” were an answer to a missing link regarding thunder radiation that scientists were working on and provided new information about the mechanisms that produce lightning.
Stating that gamma rays around black holes are stronger than X-rays, researchers evaluate that with this discovery, more accurate and timely predictions can be made about weather events and the formation of lightning.
“These studies are game-changing for the field,” said Joseph Dwyer of the University of New Hampshire. made his assessment.
