             abstract = "The distinction between convective and stratiform precipitation 
                         profiles around various precipitating systems existent in tropical 
                         regions is very important to the global atmospheric circulation, 
                         which is extremely sensitive to vertical latent heating 
                         distribution. In South America, the convective activity responds 
                         to the Intraseasonal Oscillation (OIS). This work analyzes data 
                         from a disdrometer, a radar profiler and a polarimetric radar, 
                         installed in the Ji-Paran{\'a} airport, RO, Brazil, for the field 
                         experiment WETAMC/LBA \& TRMM/LBA, in January and February of 
                         1999. The methodology is based on the partion of the precipitation 
                         into convective and stratiform, and the classification of 
                         hydometeors by fuzzy logic systems. The microphysical analysis of 
                         the periods with the presence or the absence of the South Atlantic 
                         Convergence Zone (ZCAS), associated to the IOS, showed a large 
                         difference in type, size and microphysical processes of 
                         hydrometeor growth in each wind regime: periods without a ZCAS 
                         presented more intense convection, leading strong processes of the 
                         precipitation growth in both convective and stratiform types; 
                         during periods with a well stabilished ZCAS, there were small 
                         precipitating systems, with a less convective feature, similary to 
                         those from monsoon regions in their ative phase.",
