AB: The ISUAL payload on the ROCSAT-2 satellite successfully passed the instrument checkout phase, and has started its global survey of upper atmospheric transient luminous events since early July of 2004. As of the mid-September of 2004, ISUAL has captured 140 TLE events in the first 70 days of operation. In this talk, the preliminary global distribution of TLEs will be presented. Also the correlation between TLEs and global lightning distributions will be evaluated. Comparisons of the occurrence rates for different types of TLEs between ground observation data and ISUAL data will also be presented. *Works performed at National Cheng Kung University were supported in part by grants from NSPO (93-NSPO(B)-ISUAL-FA09-01) and NSC (NSC93-2112-M-006-007, NSC93-2111-M-006-001) in Taiwan.
