abstract = "The South, Southeast and Center-West regions of Brazil are often
reached by Mesoscale Convective Systems (MCS). These systems play
an important role in the accumulated rainfall in these regions, as
well as others globe's regions. The objective of this work is to
find flow patterns at low and high levels of the troposphere for
two cases of MCSs that occurred on October 05, 2009 and February
19, 2010 over the Southeast of South America. These systems were
identified analyzing satellite images of the GOES-10 and GOES-12,
respectively, and their impacted on the raingauges measures with
large amount of precipitation. To analyze the life cycle of these
MCSs were used meteorological fields (wind, temperature, pressure,
humidity, etc) from the reanalysis data of the National Centers
for Environmental Prediction/ National Center for Atmospheric
Research (NCEP/NCAR). Some remarkable features of MCSs were
identified in the systems selected for this analysis. The data
analysis looked for identifying the atmospheric conditions that
gives heat and moisture supplies to the development of these
systems. This work is part of a larger study, where more cases of
MCS will be examined with the intention of better understanding
the behavior of this system in its life cycle.",
