Abstract
To clarify the characteristics of lightning on the coast of the Sea of Japan in the winter season, the current waveform and the progression of lightning discharge to a high stack were observed. Observation results from 1989 to 1994 show that: (1) there are two types of lightning discharges-one with large currents and strong luminosity in the lightning path, and the other with small currents of long duration and weak luminosity of lightning path; (2) the parameters of lightning currents of the two types of discharges are quite different; and (3) there is a quantitative correlation between the change of luminosity in a lightning path and the lightning current waveform.
