                         Brazilian developments on the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System 
                         (CATT-BRAMS). CATT-BRAMS is an on-line transport model fully 
                         consistent with the simulated atmospheric dynamics. Emission 
                         sources from biomass burning and urban-industrial-vehicular 
                         activities 5 for trace gases and aerosol particles are obtained 
                         from several published datasets and remote sensing information. 
                         The tracer and aerosol mass concentration prognostic includes the 
                         effects of sub-grid scale turbulence in the planetary boundary 
                         layer, convective transport by shallow and deep moist convection, 
                         wet and dry deposition, and plume rise associated with vegetation 
                         fires in addition to the grid scale transport. The 10 radiation 
                         parameterization takes into account the interaction between 
                         aerosol particles and short and long wave radiation. The 
                         atmospheric model BRAMS is based on the Regional Atmospheric 
                         Modeling System (RAMS), with several improvements associated with 
                         cumulus convection representation, soil moisture initialization 
                         and surface scheme tuned for the tropics, among others. In this 
                         paper the CATT-BRAMS model 15 is used to simulate carbon monoxide 
                         and particulate material (PM2.5) surface fluxes and atmospheric 
                         transport during the 2002 LBA field campaigns, conducted during 
                         the transition from the dry to wet season in the southwest Amazon 
                         Basin. Model evaluation is addressed with comparisons between 
                         model results and near surface, radiosonde and airborne 
                         measurements performed during the field campaign, as well as 
                         remote 20 sensing derived products. We show the matching of 
                         emissions strengths to observed carbon monoxide in the LBA 
                         campaign. A relatively good comparison to the MOPITT data, in 
                         spite of the fact that MOPITT a priori assumptions imply several 
                         difficulties, is also obtained.",
