| Zusammenfassung |
After 17 years of
research at Morro do Cachimbo station (MC) in Brazil, 51 flashes with strokes
higher than 2 kA were registered. The data are compared with similar data
obtained from the Mount San Salvatore station (SS), Switzerland, in terms of
the incidence of downward or upward flashes, polarity, and flash multiplicity.
The comparison indicates that at MC the percentage of upward flashes and the
multiplicity of negative downward flashes are higher than at SS, while the
percentage of downward positive flashes is lower.
