STEPS 2000 JD 00172 20 JUNE 2000

The following is the final listing of the times of sprites imaged at the Yucca Ridge Field Station. These are on visual inspection of the LLTV video monitoring system. All times are UTC. The times refer to the start of the 17 ms field in which the TLE was first visible.

SUMMARY: Two tapes of each system (patrol, zoom, tele and GEN III). Four Sony GEN III tapes. Excellent trailing stratiform development with many dancers in +CG area. Many very large bright carrot types. Clouds did tend to partially block views. Many appeared to come from horizon later on. Storm was beyond 600 km during best phase. Few flashes at times on fringe of LMA. Stanfiord gets good telescope views.
