Keywords:Ionosphere, Lightning, Whistler waves

We investigate statistical property of global lightning activity by means of the DEMETER satellite. The DEMETER satellite which was launch by CNES, France, was operated from 2004 to 2010. In the study, we use electric field data to measure Whistler waves generated by lightning. In this presentation, we show preliminary results of this study.
