The dose rate of the gamma-rays increases in association wit h the activities of the thunderstorm. They were observed on the ground in the winter season o f Japan. To investigate the time profile of the radiations during the winter thunderstorms, four sets o f the radiation detectors were prepared which consist of the long proportional counters. These detectors have different characteristics of the response for the energy of the incident particles by mounting different t hick shielding covers. Those results were compared with the results measured at the same time by the enviro nmental radiation monitors set up around a nuclear power facility. Electric field was also measured by using a field mill. As a result, the following two types of the radiation enhancements have been found duri ng the winter thunderstorm activities; the gradual variation of photon intensity with energy of a few Me V, and the burst type of the radiation that is attributed to the injection of high energy photons with the e n rgy over 10 MeV.
