Polarity transitions of narrow bipolar events in thundercloud tops reaching the lower stratosphere

Abstract Blue corona discharges are often generated in thunderclouds penetrating into the stratosphere and are the optical manifestation of narrow bipolar events (NBEs) observed in radio signals. While their production appears to depend on convection, the cause and nature of such discharges are not...
