Short summary

The purpose of our paper was to provide a statistical study of one of the interactions between lightning and particles occurring above thunderstorms. In our case, the satellite DEMETER was able to measure the energy of both particles and lightning. By correlating those measurements with lightning detection, we were able to determine the position of the causative lightning. The aim of this research was mainly to prepare the next spacecraft mission, which will study thunderstorms from space.
