"
Do you think that the streamer impedance can change as fast as
the current in the sinusoidal waveform?"
        Will let Malcom speak for himself, but personally
believe that the non-linearities over a single cycle aren't
too large, because of the ion transport mechanisms involved.
Sure there is some effect, but considering that it often 
takes seconds for the streamers to build to full length (at
least with my little coils) think that much slower mechanisms
are involved.
