Energetic Compact Strokes as the Major Source of Downward Terrestrial Gamma‐Ray Flashes in Winter Thunderstorms

Abstract Terrestrial gamma‐ray flashes (TGFs) are short bursts of intense gamma radiation associated with lightning discharges. Although thousands of TGFs have been observed from space, TGFs detected at ground level, known as downward TGFs, are still very limited, and their relationship with lightni...
