Abstract. Trace gas measurements in the convective outflow from European thunderstorms have been performed with the German research aircraft Falcon during the LINOX (1996), EULINOX (1998), EXPORT (2000), and recently CONTRACE (2003) field experiments. Here we compare the results from all four campaigns with focus on the contribution of thunderstorms to the NOx (=NO+NO2) budget in the upper troposphere. A rough estimate for the global amount of lightning-produced NOx from CONTRACE resulted in ~4 TgN yr-1. For Europe the amount of lightning-produced NOx was estimated to 0.06 TgN yr-1, which is less than the contribution from aircraft emissions (0.1 TgN yr-1). 1
