Like the Russian satellite “Chibis-M”, TARANIS is a satellite dedicated to
the study of Transient Luminous Events (TLEs) and Terrestrial Gamma ray Flashes
(TGFs). By the end of 2015 TARANIS will be operating in space and will provide
the atmospheric electricity community with combined Nadir observations of TLEs
and TGFs, high resolution measurements of energetic electrons, and high resolution
wave field measurements from DC up to 35 MHz.
COBRAT is a balloon project developed by CNES to maximize the scientific
return of TARANIS. The aim of COBRAT is to perform stratospheric measurements
above active thunderstorm areas. Such measurements are needed to identify
unambiguously the generation mechanisms of TGFs and TLEs and to quantify their
atmospheric effects.
The strategy adopted to maximize the scientific return of both TARANIS and
COBRAT is presented and discussed.

The report presents the results of modern analysis of transient optical phenomena
in the atmosphere according to MSU TATIANA type micro-satellites. The results
of the analysis of the geographical distribution peculiarities of recorded events
and flash power in relation to the magnetic field, atmospheric humidity and cloud
formations are discussed. The estimations of radiation generation altitude by the
ratio of radiation in the ultraviolet and infrared ranges are given. The correlations
of flash events with the phases of the moon and its height above the horizon are
examined.
