Abstract

In the course of an experiment studying variations of cosmic rays during thunderstorms at the Baksan Neutrino Observatory evidence has been obtained in favor of existence of a new type of large-scale electric discharge in thunderstorm atmosphere: a slow runaway electron breakdown in the near-threshold regime. Continuous glow of the stratosphere region above thunderclouds is discovered, correlating with anomalous disturbances in intensity of secondary cosmic rays detected on the ground.
