Abstract
The electric power facilities such as large nuclear power plants and ultra high voltage principal transmission lines have recently increased so much along the coast of the Japan Sea. Particularly in winter seasons, these facilities have been frequently suffering from serious lightning troubles. Brook et al.1 have pointed out that winter lightning in this district has different characteristic features compared with summer ones. The exact forecast of thunderstorms and the detailed knowledge of weather circumstances that cause thunderstorms are urgently needed to protect these facilities and execute effective system control of power facilities against winter thunderstorms.
