             abstract = "The tracking of cloud-to-ground lightning flashes could be helpful 
                         in weather nowcasting guidance. However, for this purpose it is 
                         necessary an investigation of the atmospheric structure in depth 
                         and of its relation to the lightning activity, in order to 
                         ultimately establish a nowcasting methodology. Thus, this work 
                         studied the lightning and atmospheric relationship during the dry 
                         season of the Interdisciplinary Pantanal Experiment (IPE), that 
                         took place at the Pantanal Sul Matogrossense, Brazil, in 1999. Two 
                         events of thunderstorm, Sept. 15 and 19, 1999, were recorded by a 
                         brazilian lightning detector network. Those data were analyzed and 
                         integrated to atmospheric parameters in order to obtain the 
                         characterization of the thunderstorm. As result, a unexpected 
                         polarity ratio for lightning flashes was obtained and some 
                         questions are raised.",
