Aufeises of the Siberian permafrost zone and increase of the river channel nets by V. R. Alekseev

“…On the average, increase of a channel net with respect to one large groundwater aufeis amounts to 12.2 km while in areas of both continuous and discontinuous permafrost (total area F = 7.6 million km2) the total increase is estimated as 690 thousand km.Our calculations testify extremely great role of the aufeises in transformation of river channel nets and structures of valley landscapes as a whole. It is possible to see in mountains that small and middle rivers are characterized by a system of many channels caused by the aufeis influence, and such system can exist continuously for tens km along a river course. …”

Characterization of Hybrid Lightning Flashes Observed by Fast Antenna Lightning Mapping Array in Summer Thunderstorms by Dongdong Shi, Jie Shao, Rubin Jiang, Daohong Wang, Ting Wu, Li Wang

“…Using the observation data from Fast Antenna Lightning Mapping Array, we have sub-divided 288 hybrid flashes that are obviously different from traditional intracloud (IC) and negative cloud-to-ground (NCG) flashes into three types: IC–NCG lightning (85), NCG–IC lightning (95), and the flashes (108) with negative leaders originating from the upper parts of bi-level structures of IC flashes. Hereinafter, we refer to these hybrid flashes as hybrid A, B, and C, respectively. …”
