Abstract
This contribution reviews the basics of atmospheric deep convection and electri- fication as it pertains to the generation of stratospheric and mesospheric transient luminous events (TLEs). Emphasis is placed on sprites and sprite-producing lightning, and the meteorological regimes in which they are found.
