摘要: [1] Terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs) as observed by satellites have a broad fluence distribution. This distribution is not trivially related to the source strength distribution, since even very strong TGF may still be at low if far from satellite. In this paper we connect with calculating effective size and probability of detection TGFs function their strength. For sources single altitude, power law distributions give softer in especially pronounced softening for hard indices. result holds altitude regions away peak such tend dominated produced relatively narrow range higher altitudes.
