Characteristics of the stepped leaders in cloud-to-ground lightning discharges

In this paper, the electric and magnetic field waveforms produced by cloud-to-groud lightning discharges were measured and statistically analyzed. The measuring system used to measure the electric and magnetic fields is consisted of the hemisphere electric field sensor, the loop magnetic field sensor and the data acquisition system. The stepped leader is appeared before the return stroke. Some parameters of the electric and magnetic fields produced by the stooped leaders in cloud-to-ground lightning discharges were investigated.
