代表性期刊论文

I am a co-author of 25 refereed publications in journals including Nature, Geophysical Research Letters, and Journal of Geophysical Research-Atmospheres, 11 of which are as first or corresponding author*. Full records are available on Google Scholar.

Pu,Y.*, Cummer,S. A.*, & Jia,Y. (2025). Continental-scale lightning observations at high frequency. Geophysical Research Letters, 52, e2025GL116075. https://doi.org/10.1029/2025GL116075 

Studying lightning processes over long distances is challenging because lightning-emitted radio waves weaken as they travel over the ground. A new approach is demonstrated to use high-frequency (HF, 3–30 MHz) radio emissions reflected by the ionosphere to study lightning remotely and improve long-distance storm monitoring.

Pu, Y., and S. A. Cummer (2019), Needles and Lightning Leader Dynamics Imaged with 100–200 MHz Broadband VHF Interferometry, Geophysical Research Letters, 46, 13556–13563. https://doi.org/10.1029/2019GL085635   

I improved a broadband VHF lightning interferometer to image detailed lightning processes inside the cloud with high spatial and time resolution. This enables the discovery of needle-to-negative leader transition and other lightning development dynamics that were not readily detectable in the past.

How lightning propagates in the first few milliseconds has long been a mystery. Utilizing state-of-the-art lightning imaging with a 30-250 MHz VHF interferometer, the above two papers provide clear images of the detailed processes during initial development of in-cloud lightning flashes.

Pu, Y., S. A. Cummer, and N. Y. Liu (2021), VHF Radio Spectrum of a Positive Leader and Implications for Electric Fields, Geophysical Research Letters, 48, e2021GL093145. https://doi.org/10.1029/2021GL093145 

In-situ measurements of lightning at precise times and locations are nearly impossible. The above two papers propose novel VHF-UHF radio spectral techniques that indirectly measure electric fields in the precise regions where lightning begins/propagates.

Pu, Y., S. A. Cummer, F. C. Lyu, M. Briggs, B. Mailyan, M. Stanbro, and O. Roberts (2019), Low Frequency Radio Pulses Produced by Terrestrial Gamma-Ray Flashes, Geophysical Research Letters, 46, 6990–6997. https://doi.org/10.1029/2019GL082743   

A statistical study between TGF and lightning radio signals is conducted to study TGF-lightning connection. The connection between TGF and a low frequency slow-pulse during lightning development has been confirmed.

Pu, Y., S. A. Cummer, A. Huang, M. Briggs, B. Mailyan, and S. Lesage (2020), A Satellite-Detected Terrestrial Gamma Ray Flash Produced by a Cloud-to-Ground Lightning Leader, Geophysical Research Letters, 47, e2020GL089427. https://doi.org/10.1029/2020GL089427   

Built upon the slow-pulse-TGF connection, I discovered likely a new type of reverse TGF produced by a cloud-to-ground lightning leader.

Pu, Y., Cummer, S. A., Lyu, F., Zheng, Y., Briggs, M. S., Lesage, S., et al. (2023). Unsupervised clustering and supervised machine learning for lightning classification: Application to identifying EIPs for ground-based TGF detection. Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 128, e2022JD038369. https://doi.org/10.1029/2022JD038369 

I designed a machine learning framework to distinguish various lightning radio signals. This enables large-scale ground-based TGF detection using a proxy signature named EIPs, which in turn would improve our understanding of TGF generation.

Zhang (2019), Broadband Characteristics of Chaotic Pulse Trains Associated with Sequential Dart Leaders in a Rocket-Triggered Lightning Flash, Journal of Geophysical Research-Atmospheres, 124, 4074–4085. https://doi.org/10.1029/2018JD029488

Rocket triggered lightning is useful to study detailed lightning physics due to its known occurrence. The above two papers reveal optical and broadband radio characteristics of both upward and downward negative lightning leaders.
