abstract = "An X-band polarimetric radar and multiple lightning detection
systems are used to document the initial intracloud and
cloud-to-ground lightning flashes in a large number (>100) of
incipient thunderstorms, as part of the CHUVA-Vale field campaign.
The results show an exceptionally low stroke multiplicity in the
initial ground flashes, a finding consistent with the limited
space available for positive leader extension into new regions of
negative space charge in compact cells. The results here are
contrasted with the behavior of ground flashes in mesoscale storms
in previous studies.",
