Abstract
The atmospheric circulation of the Tapajós River region has unique characteristics due to influences of forests, agricultural fields, rivers and urban areas. The study with regard to the wind field in two different points in National Forest Tapajós (FNT) shows that there are significant differences in wind direction at those points. Identifying and quantify of the North and South canalization, and westerly winds, give important indications for studying the influence of different areas on the FNT. The results show that the occurrences of drains and west winds are more present during the rainy season and occur more during the day. Furthermore, in Jamaraquá station nearest to the River, the influence of channeling and west winds are greater, which can be due not only proximity of river but also the topographical features.
