abstract = "We report upward lightning observations in S{\~a}o Paulo city,
SP, Brazil and compare to data from Lightning Location System
(LLS). Those data were provided by 4 different networks from
different technologies: BrasilDAT, RINDAT, Worldwide Lightning
Location Network (WWLLN), and Earth Networks Global Lightning
Network (ENGLN). Several upward flashes were observed from
20122014 using GPS time-stamped optical sensors and electric field
measurements. These upward flashes were initiated from tall towers
located at Jaragua Peak (90 and 130 m) and along Paulista Avenue
(23 towers with heights between 50 and 220m). Time-correlated
analyzes allowed to evaluate the network detection efficiency,
intracloud (IC) / cloud-to-ground (CG) misclassification
percentage, and location accuracy of the 4 different LLS. We will
also show how different upward flash physical processes (leader
initiation, recoil leaders, return strokes) are detected and
classified by the distinct LLS technologies. Preliminary results
show that in general, recoil leaders were not detected; on the
other hand, several cases of return strokes and some cases of
M-component were detected by one or more LLS networks.",
