Discussion
State whether the following is true or false.
Sprites are usually triggered by positive cloud to ground flashes.
Answer: B
Correct answer: True
Sprites are almost always triggered by positive cloud-to-ground flashes, which transfer far more charge from a greater height than typical negative flashes and so produce the large charge moment change needed to drive breakdown in the mesosphere. They occur most often above the trailing stratiform region of a mesoscale convective system, where such positive flashes are concentrated.
