Description
Lightning and high energy processes are observed in the
atmosphere above thunderstorms. These phenomena impact the Earth's
atmosphere through ion-neutral chemistry reactions leading to additional
chemical sources which are as yet not included in the present picture of
atmospheric chemistry and climate. In this talk, we will revise results of
sprite-chemistry models and observations, and discuss the relevance of
sprite perturbations at regional and global scales.
