摘要
Parameters of current waveforms of several negative flashes measured recently at Morro do Cachimbo Station were considered in relation to the values provided by a statistical evaluation developed previously for the data of a 13-year period of data acquisition. The impact of these recent measured parameters in the median values of peak-current, front-times and time-to-half-peak-current was evaluated. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
