High altitude optical discharges generated by extreme cloud-to-ground lightning strokes, which occur in the middle region of the atmosphere known as sprites. Streamer formation in sprites has been well stated to be existing by several previous workers. These streamers are not only responsible for the initiation of sprites but also they are composed of these streamers. It causes the production of electromagnetic radiation upto or below the ELF (very low frequency) region which have been reported earlier through various research theories. Thus, we are reporting out for the formulation of the model by using an earlier model used to estimate higher frequency radiation from cloud and ground lightning discharges through these positive corona streamers. Taking it into account, other terms like radiation magnetic field has been evaluated with the studied observations.

AbstractUsing numerical filtering techniques allowing us to reduce noise from sferics, we are able to clearly study a new type of differently structured very low frequency (VLF) radio waves above f = 4 kHz at the ground station of Kannuslehto in northern Finland (KAN, MLAT = 64.4°N, L = 5.5). These emissions are intriguing, since they are detected at frequencies above half the electron gyrofrequency in the equatorial plane (fce) for the L-shell of Kannuslehto (fce ~ 5–6 kHz). They are commonly observed at Kannuslehto, but have also been infrequently reported at other stations, sometimes under different names. Their possible common origin and manner of propagation is still under investigation. This paper unifies the nomenclature by regrouping all these waves detected at frequencies higher than the local equatorial 0.5 fce at the L-shell of observation under the name of VLF bursty-patches. While these waves have different spectral features, they appeared mostly composed of hiss bursts with durations of a few seconds to several minutes. They also show periodic features with varying periodicity and shape. They are sometimes characterized by single bursts covering very large frequency ranges of several kHz. We also give a review of the different characteristics of VLF bursty-patches observed at Kannuslehto, which at the moment, is the station with the highest observation rate. We present recent observations between 2019 and 2021.
