Abstract
The lightning flash characteristics in the southeastern region of Brazil were obtained in the winter season of 1993 through a lightning positioning and tracking system (LPATS). The preliminary data are presented in terms of polarity, multiplicity, and peak current of the first-order stroke. The results are compared with similar data obtained in the same region in the summer season.
