Abstract
An approximate approach to estimating characteristics of downward-propagating single positive sprite streamers is presented. Within the framework of this approach, the dependences of streamer radius and velocity on the altitude were obtained. The influence of changes in the altitude of streamer initiation and in the electric field at this altitude on the streamer parameters is considered. Estimates of the optical emission rate are obtained.
