Figures for publication 'The origin of the Poynting flux associated with transient luminous events'
This data is to illustrate the data analysis, and exemplary results of the data described in the corresponding publication entitled 'The origin of the Poynting flux associated with transient luminous events'.
During the observation campaign of January 2023 from South Africa, 9 Transient Luminous Events (TLE) were recorded by monochrome TV camera and 6-axis electric and magnetic field sensors. For the first time, simultaneous observations of the azimuth angles of arrival calculated for the parent positive lightning discharge location, the associated optical TLE photon flux, and the six-axis radio wave Poynting vector are combined. In all cases, the TLEs did not occur directly above the initiating lightning strike and with sufficient horizontal displacement to allow unambiguous discrimination of the azimuth angle of arrival. The Poynting flux came from the general direction of the TLE parent lightning strike.

Data collection method:
This data lives in the context of the corresponding publication entitled 'The origin of the Poynting flux associated with transient luminous events'. Any use of the data outside this specific context should be discussed with lead author in the first instance. The data is described in three different forms that build on each other in a logical and hierarchical order. (1) High level description: All the data is described in textual form in the corresponding publication in extensive detail. (2) Low level description: The actual values of the data and their units which are used in the publication are embedded in the corresponding standard Matlab .fig file, and in the image files.
Data processing and preparation activities:
The figures can be loaded into the Matlab programming language which is explained on the website https://uk.mathworks.com/help/matlab/getting-started-with-matlab.html?s_cid=learn_doc
