                         to predict the winds at the Alcantara Launch Center applying it 
                         operationally on rocket launching occasions. Seasonal analysis of 
                         the model behavior were performed against two radiosonde data 
                         sets, which represent the dry (strong winds) and rainy (weak 
                         winds) seasons. 72 hours forecasts were made from initial 
                         conditions provided by the Global Forecasting System (GFS/NCEP). 
                         Simulations configured for three nested grid domains, maximum 1 km 
                         horizontal resolution and 42 vertical levels were compared with 
                         observations at each 6 hours through the Willmott index of 
                         agreement (d). Initial tests of sensitivity were made for 
                         comparison and adjustment of different physical and dynamic 
                         parameters, like size of domains, number of vertical levels, 
                         spin-up time and Planetary Boundary Layer parameterizations. The 
                         model was able to represent the vertical wind profile, showing no 
                         difference in performance between the dry or rainy seasons and 
                         reaching maximum values of d in the order of 0.90. Overall, the 
                         model overestimated the layer's average wind components (U and V) 
                         up to 3.0 m/s with respect to the observations.",
