The database of the characteristics of the on-land discharges has been composed on the basis of data from the thunder-detector LS 8000. The analysis of obtained results has been performed and the analytical dependencies for the distribution of the lightning currents established applying the mathematical methods. Keywords: Lightning;thunder-detector;seasonality of discharges;ratio of in-cloud and on-land discharges;polarity of lightning
