A triggered lightning

In the beginning of 2001 a lightning research group at Uppsala started a research program on NOx production from lightning flashes. During one of the international conference gatherings Professor Vernon Cooray had a discussion with Professor Vlad Rakov from University of Florida on the possibility of a joint cooperation. These discussions led to a submission of an application to STINT for funding for an international collaboration between Uppsala University and University of Florida. The application was granted and the collaboration was initiated in 2005.
