Research Abstract

We conducted three kinds of observations (Movie, Magnetotellurics, and MF observation). The results showed the following features of volcanic lightning;(1) There are two types of discharges. One is the assemblage of several pulses. Another is the EM burst that continues several ms. (2) The duration of each pulse in the assemblage type is short as a few tens of micro seconds, but its amplitude is far strong than that of EM burst. Above features are similar to the lightning in the thundercloud. However, its duration and strength is approximately 1/10˜1/100 of that of thundercloud.
