On 11 September 2021, two small thunderstorms developed over the Telescope Array Surface Detector (TASD) that produced an unprecedented number of six downward terrestrial gamma ray flashes (TGFs) within one-hour timeframe. The TGFs occurred during the initial stage of negative cloud-to-ground flashes whose return strokes had increasingly large peak currents up to -223 kA, 147 GeV energy deposit in up to 25 1.2 km-spaced surface detectors, and intermittent bursts of gamma-rays with total durations up to 717 mu s. The analyses are based on observations recorded by the TASD network, complemented by data from a 3D lightning mapping array, broadband VHF interferometer, fast electric field change sensor, high-speed video camera, and the National Lightning Detection Network. The TGFs of the final two flashes had gamma fluences of similar or equal to 2 x 10(14) and 8x10(14), logarithmically bridging the gap between previous TASD and satellite-based detections. The observations further emphasize the similarity between upward and downward TGF varieties, suggesting a common mechanism for their production. Plain Language Summary Terrestrial Gamma-Ray Flashes (TGFs) are high-energy lightning-produced radiation events that have primarily been detected by satellites, but are increasingly detected by ground-based instrumentation. While the upward satellite-detected events exhibit extremely high numbers of gamma photons, the downward ground-based versions observed by the Telescope Array Surface Detector have, until now, displayed much weaker numbers by orders of magnitude. In this paper, we report observations of downward TGFs obtained at the large-area cosmic ray detector Telescope Array facility in west-central Utah, showing strengths midway between previously detected downward TGFs and upward satellite-detected events. The results indicate that TGFs span a wide range of fluences, a finding further supported by recent airborne observations over storm tops. (AU) | |
