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: Limited camera operations at Yucca Ridge. MCS in Nebraska possibly influenced by smoke. Low flash rates but high percentage of +CGs. Plume from Montana forest fire seen on visible satellite image.
