Abstract
To clarify the characteristics of tall tower triggered lightning, lightning currents have been measured by magnetic links and a digital recording system during winters at Niigata coast of Japan. The frequency of positive polarity flashes was higher than that of summer lightning. The bipolar strokes were recorded frequently in a lightning flash. The current waveforms of winter lightning were classified into eight types. Moreover, the winter lightning discharges were observed by still cameras and automatically driven video systems. The most flashes progress upward direction and the height of winter thunderclouds is very low.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
