Radiation as an aspect of lightning discharge

[petrushka.googol]

We are all too conversant with the attributes of lightning discharges -

 

- ionisation field

 

- EMP (electro-magnetic pulse)

 

Is radiation (not infra-red / therrmal) also a concommitant of lightning discharges?

 

What are the latest insights on the subject?

lightning has electromagnetic radiation

 

I think you may have to define what type of radiation specifically

[petrushka.googol]

i'm trying to query about higher frequency radiations - microwave frequencies and above....

[Strange]

As you can see lightning and hear the radio interference they cause, they obviously generate a wide range of electromagnetic radiation.

 

Even gamma rays.
