Physical properties of elves, jets and sprites, which are the most interesting types of high‐attitude discharges in the atmosphere, are considered in the work. The results of researches of its fractal characteristics are presented. The obtained results give grounds for a deeper insight of development, relaxation of such atmosphere processes and taking into account of their action on radio systems.
