Arcing on the nanostructured tungsten surface has been examined recently because it gives rise to the erosion of materials and impurity transport toward the core plasma in a nuclear fusion reactor. Arcing was initiated on a helium-exposed tungsten surface, on which nanostructured tungsten was formed, by irradiation with ruby laser pulses of 0.08 MJ\cdotm<sup>-2</sup>. The motion of an arc spot was observed with a fast-framing camera. The magnetic field strength and arc current dependences of velocity were discussed on the basis of experimental observation. Arc trails were observed using a digital fine scope to determine the relationship between the grouping width of an arc trail and arc velocity; the changes in grouping width and condition of the specimen surface are discussed. Spectroscopic measurements were performed to determine the electron temperature by the Boltzmann plot method.
