Abstract

A lightning positioning and tracking system (LPATS) has been used for the first time to obtain the cloud‐to‐ground flash characteristics in southeastern Brazil during the 1992–1993 summer season. About 300,000 flashes to ground were recorded. The lightning data are presented in terms of polarity, multiplicity, first‐stroke peak current, stroke of maximum peak current, and local time occurrence. The preliminary results are compared with lightning data obtained by several authors in other parts of the world.
