O trabalho proposto nesta tese tem o objetivo de verificar o comportamento dinÃmico e microfÃsico de nuvens amazÃnicas e, em particular, comparar esse comportamento para nuvens sobre as regiÃes de pasto e floresta no Estado de RondÃnia. Diversas medidas termodinÃmicas e microfisicas obtidas in situ com o aviÃo laboratÃrio Citation II foram analisadas, sendo possÃvel extrair algumas conclusÃes relativas ao comportamento microfÃsico das nuvens formadas sobre pasto e floresta. TambÃm foram feitas diversas simulaÃÃes com o modelo RAMS (Regional Atmospheric Model System): testes de sensibilidade em relaÃÃo à cobertura vegetal (pasto ou floresta), que nÃo apresentaram diferenÃas significativas no perfil vertical da microfÃsica das nuvens; simulaÃÃes feitas inicializando o modelo com o diÃmetro mÃdio ou com a concentraÃÃo de gotÃculas, cujos resultados apresentaram diferenÃas significativas. Os resultados obtidos nas simulaÃÃes inicializadas com a concentraÃÃo de partÃculas mostraram-se bastante prÃximos daqueles observados durante o experimento ABRACOS (Anglo-Brazilian Amazonian Climate Observation Study). / Improving or knowledge on cloud microphysics is fundamental to understand the clouds dynamics, its role in the atmospheric general circulation and energy balance, as well as in weather and climate prediction applications using large-scale and mesoscale models. This work aims to verify the dynamic and microphysical behavior of clouds over the Amazon basin and, in particular, to compare those behaviors over pasture and forest areas in RondÃnia State. Several thermodynamic and microphysics measurements obtained in situ with the University of North Dakota instrumented aircraft (Citation II) were analyzed, allowing us to reach some conclusions about the microphysical and dynamical characteristics of clouds over pasture and forest areas. Cloud-resolving simulations using RAMS model (Regional Atmospheric Model System) were performed in order to assess sensitivities regarding vegetation cover (pasture or forest). The simulations did not show significant differences in the average vertical profiles of cloud microphysics variables (such as mixing rations for the different hydrometeor species). On the other hand, simulations using different model setups (changes in initialization or average diameter or droplets concentration), produced significant differences in precipitation and hydrometeor concentration, per exempe. Finally, simulations in which the droplets concentrations were specified showed better agreement with observations obtained during ABRACOS experiment (Anglo-Brazilian Amazonian Climate Observation Study), than simulations in which average diameter were specified.
