Abstract
The first data set of VHF lightning mapping using a
Lightning Mapping Array system - LMA in a tropical region is
presented in this paper. Six sensors were installed at the north of
Colombia near Santa Marta city. Since the installation of the
LMA network in 2015, up to 7000 intra-cloud (IC) discharges
from September to November 2015 have been analyzed. The data
suggests that, the electrical charge distribution in tropical
thunderstorms shows higher vertical development reaching
higher altitudes
