- Upper-atmospheric lightning - Upper-atmospheric lightning is an early term sometimes invoked by researchers to refer to a family of electrical breakdown phenomena that occurs well above the altitudes of normal lightning. Also known as "Transient Luminous Events," these include sprites, blue jets, gigantic jets, and elves.
- Atmosphere-Space Interaction Monitor - Atmosphere-Space Interaction Monitor (ASIM) is a project lead by the European Space Agency. It will place cameras and x-ray- and γ-detectors on the International Space Station, where it will observe the upper atmosphere, looking for sprites, jets and elves in connection with thunderstorms.
