“…This work aims to analyze the simulations of the stored model CFSv2 / RegCM4.9, between July 15 and November 2, 2020. Correa, et al (2021). Table 1 shows the configurations and parameterizations used in the two simulations performed, seeking to use a strategy of using high spatial resolutions to obtain and observe the resulting simulation characteristics of the rainfall.…”

This work sought to analyze in high resolution the downscaling of the global model Climate Forecast System Version 2 (CFSv2) by using the regional climate model RegCM-4.9. The precipitation fields were generated in two different domains and spatial resolution with 10 km and 3 km, for August to October 2020. The equatorial region of Northeast Brazil can be characterized by the complex dynamics that encompass atmospheric movements such as the existence of convergence at low levels of convective cloudiness and its diurnal effect on low cloud cover and its influence on evident precipitation. However, for meteorological scales with a daytime circle, the land-ocean breeze effect in the Gulf of Maranhão in this theoretical model of night convergence shows a peak between 6 to 9 am local time. This work seeks to recognize the existence of land-ocean breeze in Alcântara and its influence on the daytime precipitation cycle, its dynamics can influence aerospace activities by increasing convergence and, depending on its intensity, generating more intense rainfall in the coastal region even in the dry period, which corresponds to the most suitable period for the operational activities of the Alcântara Launch Center.

“…In their work. Correa et al (2021) used a regional climate model (RegCM-4.7) with high horizontal resolution to obtain information on the intensity of the average vertical wind profile over the Alcântara Launch Center. In the literature on wind intensity, it was noted that the lack of continuous monitoring of the existence of flows in the vertical wind profile at heights of 400 to 600 m and the measurement of their magnitude allow a lower estimate of what may occur in reality below level in the region for operational rocket launch purposes.…”

Observational study of breezes using a SODAR wind profiler at the Alcântara Launch Center

This observational study used data collected with a SODAR wind profiler that can perform measurements from November to April 2023. The analysis sought to analyze occurrences of magnitudes in the vertical wind profile greater than 10 ms-1. The magnitude value with the highest value recorded above 200 meters was 16.1 ms-1, and 90% of the observations occurred between 36 and 60 degrees. We can conjecture that, comparing numerical simulations of the vertical profile of the wind heights of around 600 meters with maximums of this order, the simulations do not have the resolution and accuracy of the SODAR measurements. In this aspect, as there is seasonal variability in wind intensity in the Alcântara region from August to October, it is expected that there will be records of above 20 ms-1 between vertical levels of 100 to 600 meters over the region of the Alcântara Launch Center.
