JD 00200 18JULY2000PRELIMINARY SPRITE LOG
The following is a very preliminary listing of the times of sprites imaged at the Yucca Ridge Field Station. These are based solely on real-time visual inspection of the video monitoring system. There are most likely some additional sprites not listed and not all those below may in fact be sprites. All times are UTC. Times are likely to be within ±5 seconds of actual time.
SUMMARY:
Upslope flow caused widespread storms along Front Range which blocked viewing until long after. Full moon also a problem. Monitored to southeast were large MCS evolved from a squall-line like systems in southeast CO and Kansas. Many sprites blocked by clouds but some seen over top of fog bank. Sprites moved around so getting telescope fix was tough.
