What is Is there a conclusive evidence on lightning-related effects on sporadic E layers? about?

In recent years, there have been a few studies claiming that thunderstorm cloud-to-ground lightning discharges affect sporadic E layers existing over the storm. In this brief paper, we consider and critically evaluate the results of these studies in the context of our present knowledge on sporadic E layers and the coupling processes of thunderstorm and lightning wave energy into the upper atmosphere and lower ionosphere. It is shown that the reported findings and their implications raise questions and cast doubts, therefore the conclusions of the existing studies are not substantiated and thus need to be treated with caution. We reason that, the anticipated occurrence of lighting-related effects on midlatitude sporadic E lacks at present firm verification.
