             abstract = "In several countries the most used tools to monitor lightning 
                         activities are the cloud-to-ground lightning positioning and 
                         tracking systems (Bass, 1996; Diniz et al., 1996; Cummins et al., 
                         1998). It is supposed that the tracking of cloud-to-ground 
                         lightning flashes could be used to help the nowcasting (Holle and 
                         Lopez, 1993). However, for this purpose it is still necessary to 
                         research the atmospheric scenario deeply and to relate it to the 
                         lightning activity, in order to establish the best methodology. 
                         Thus this work studied the lightning-atmosphere relationship 
                         during the 2nd. data collection campaign of the Interdisciplinary 
                         Pantanal Experiment (IPE 2), at the Pantanal Sul Matogrossense, 
                         Brazil, in 1999. IPE is part of a broad experimental program to 
                         study the characteristics of the weather and the climate of the 
                         central region of Brazil. In a site (19o 57' 43.8{"}S 57 o 1' 
                         51.6{"}W) at this tropical region, meteorological radiosondes were 
                         launched from Sept. 14 to 23, 1999, with a 3 hour-time interval 
                         from one to another. Two events of Thunderstorm (Sept. 15 and 19, 
                         1999) were recorded by a brazilian lightning detector network. 
                         Those data were analyzed integrated to the geo-stationary 
                         satellite data (IR, WV and VIS channels) and numerical analysis 
                         model data. The atmosphere parameters (CAPE, wind shear, cloud 
                         depth, critical isotherms, and so on) and the lightning features 
                         were calculated and discussed in order to obtain the 
                         characterization of the thunderstorm evolution.",
