                         were investigated. During this period 4 MCCs were identified. 
                         However, only 1 of 4 MCCs occurring in 1993-94 spent their entire 
                         life- cycle within the 50 detection efficiency region. It had a 
                         duration of 15 hours and at time of maximum extent its area was 
                         approximately 110,000 Km2. The characteristics of cloud-to-ground 
                         flashes during their major life-cycle phases were studied in terms 
                         of the hourly flash rate, polarity, multiplicity and average peak 
                         current intensity.",
