Abstract
Measurements of ELF-radiating currents associated with sprite-producin g lightning discharges exhibit a second current peak simultaneous in t ime with sprite luminosity, suggesting that the observed ELF radiation is produced by intense electrical currents flowing in the body of the sprite.
