                         charge transfers to ground are thought to be associated with 
                         positive lightning. Brook at al. [1] for one positive lightning in 
                         a winter storm in Japan, inferred a charge transfer in excess of 
                         300 coulomb (C) during de first 4ms. But charge transfers to 
                         beyond 3000C were reported from direct current measurements, by 
                         Miyake et al.[1] for positive winter lightning in Japan. Positive 
                         strokes may have high peak currents followed by long continuing 
                         current (CC), and thus combine these two threatening features for 
                         lightning protection. Although positive flashes are usually less 
                         frequent than negative lightning, the special characteristics of 
                         their CC make the understanding of positive lightning an important 
                         issue. Positive lightning were recorded in southeastern Brazil 
                         during the summers of 2009-2011. This study presents some CC 
                         intensity estimates obtained from an electric field capacitive 
                         antenna. Most CC intensities were much higher than the usual 
                         intensity values of CC in negative flashes.",
