Termination of thunderstorm-related bursts of energetic radiation and particles by inverted intracloud and hybrid lightning discharges (vol 233, pg 104713, 2020)

The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused by our conclusion on the frequency of lightning flashes of different types terminated by Thunderstorm Ground Enhancements (TGEs) and that TGEs associated with inverted IC flashes and hybrid flashes caused relatively small particle flux drops (Chilingarian et al., 2020). We recently analyzed different types of lightning flashes that terminate TGEs using a significantly enlarged data sample (163 TGE events instead of 49) observed from 2012 to 2021 (Soghomonyan et al., 2021). Our analysis of this three times larger dataset has led to results that do not support some of our previous conclusions based on smaller statistics. Therefore, we present a new analysis of the expanded database and compare our previous and current findings on the relationship between particle fluxes and lightning discharges.
