A new approach to estimate the annual number of global lightning fatalities.
Lightning is one of the major causes of weather related mortality in several countries around the world. However, in many countries, no reliable statistics are available about the number of annual lightning fatalities, in part due to the inexistence of specific institutions responsible for such stat...

Lightning casualty demographics in Brazil and its implications to safety rules.
A 10-year study about lightning fatalities in Brazil is presented. It is the more complete study already done in South America. The study indicates the death rates in the country sorted by season, state, city, type of region, age, season, gender and circumstances. Ten years of data were collected fr...

Análise espaço-temporal dos plantios de Eucalyptus spp no Estado de São Paulo.
Brazil has nearly 5 million hectares of forest planted with species of the genus Eucalyptus and Pinnus and nearly 70% of these forests are for the manufacture of cellulose pulp. Eucalyptus planted forests are being implemented in different regions of the country, developing at sites with different t...

Observations of natural cloud-to-ground lightning leaders from simultaneous high-speed video recordings and electric field measurements.
The aim of this investigation is to analyze the phenomenology of positive and negative (stepped-, dart- and recoil) leaders observed in natural lightning from simultaneous high-speed video recordings and electric field measurements. For that intent we have used two different high-speed cameras (obta...

High-speed video observations of β2-type leaders in negative lightning: a manifestation of recoil leaders initiated inside the cloud?
Schonland et al. (1938), in their seminal streak camera studies of lightning, have identified a peculiar type of negative stepped leader that they termed β, a rather rare variant of the type β leader and in it the second and slower stage of the leader is associated with the appearance of one or mo...

A 11-year study about the spatial and temporal variations of the lightning flash density in the southeastern Brazil.
Lightning data obtained by the Brazilian Lightning Detection Network (BrasilDat) in the southeastern region of Brazil (latitudes from 22S to 24S and longitudes from 43W to 47.4W) from 1999 to 2009 were studied in terms of spatial and temporal variations of the flash counts. The spatial variation sho...

Preliminary study of atmospheric methane emissions in a lentic systems.
The decaying organic matter releases, among other gases, methane (CH4), composed of semi-opaque to infrared radiation has an important role in the greenhouse. The knowledge of how the lentic systems emit gases from the anaerobic decomposition of non lignified material, primarily composed of herbaceo...
