             abstract = "In this paper we present experimental results obtained by the use 
                         of the method Lightning Mapping Array with Electric Field 
                         measurements on ground (LMA-EF). This method allows to measure the 
                         positions and magnitudes of the electric charges (Q) inside the 
                         thunderstorm clouds. The data used to validate the experiment were 
                         provided by the Vale do Paraiba CHUVA (Cloud processes of tHe main

                         project campaign, that took place in S{\~a}o Paulo - Brazil 
                         between December of 2011 and January of 2012. The LMA data can 
                         provide us the position (R) of the electric charges centers and a 
                         network of electric field mill provides data of electric field 
                         (E). Combining LMA data with the measurements of electric field on 
                         the ground is possible to determine the magnitude of the electric 
                         charges, by using the inversion of the coulomb law in matrix form: 
                         Q = (RT .R)-1 .RT .E. An algorithm was written to make this 
                         estimation automatically. After the determination of the electric 
                         charge structure, the algorithm recalculates the direct Coulombs 
                         Law and checks the results by fitting data of electric field on 
                         ground.",
