abstract = "Intense wind events at the southern Brazilian coast cause severe
socio-economic losses. Generally, such events have been associated
with extratropical cyclones over the Southwest Atlantic Ocean. The
purpose of this study is to identify favoured locations and the
processes through which the winds are associated with the
extratropical cyclones. Using a statistical analysis, the wind
speed observed at nine meteorological stations was compared with
cyclone depth and offshore distance. Both cyclone depth and
location were obtained through an objective procedure of
identifying and tracking. Generally, the winds are well associated
with the extratropical cyclones only south of 28 degrees S.
Altitude also plays an important role in this relationship.
Furthermore, the cyclones influence the observed wind field up to
1200 km inland at higher latitude locations. For stations near 28
degrees S, cyclones further from the coast have an influence, but
with smaller statistical significance. Copyright (C) 2010 Royal
