Description

Complete text of publication follows. The impact of thunderstorm activity on the nighttime middle atmospheric NO2 and ozone is observed by the MIPAS infrared spectrometer onboard the ENVISAT satellite. The WWLLN lightning detection network is used to localise the intense thunderstorms. The original five-month dataset that led to the identification of a possible sprite-induced NO2 perturbation (Arnone et al., GRL, 35, L05807, 2008) is expanded to cover all existing MIPAS measurements during 2002-2008. Specific case studies are further discussed in conjunction with available sprite observations.
