Short summary

We focus on the interactions among TLEs, lightning, and the ionospheric electric field. The SNR of the Schumann resonance at the first and second modes dropped during the TLEs. A significant enhancement of the energy in ULF occurred. Distinct lightning whistler waves were found in the VLF band. Our results indicate that the observations of electric fields from the satellite could possibly be utilized to monitor lower-atmospheric lightning and its impact on the space environment.
