We report on observations of corona discharges at the uppermost region of clouds characterized by emissions in a blue band of nitrogen molecules at 337 nm, with little activity in a red band of lightning leaders at 777.4 nm. Past work suggests they are generated in cloud tops reaching the tropopause and above. Here we explore their occurrence in two convection environments of the same storm: one is developing with clouds reaching above the tropopause, and one is collapsing with lower clouds. We focus on those that form a distinct category with fast risetimes below 20 µs, signifying they are at the very top of the clouds. The discharges are observed in both environments. In the collapsing cells they are related to substructures of convection. The observations suggest that a range of storm environments may generate corona discharges, and that they may be quite common in convective surges.
