                         Alc{\^a}ntara (CLA). The comparisons were made using the 
                         integrated zonal and meridional components of observed and 
                         forecasted winds. Initially, three boundary layer 
                         parameterizations, in addition to the current parameterization, 
                         were selected for evaluation: Blackadar (BLK), Medium Range 
                         Forecast (MRF), Janjic (ETA) and Burk-Thompson (BT). The MRF and 
                         BLK schemes produced better results than the ETA and BT schemes. 
                         Nevertheless, MRF and BLK underestimate the zonal and meridional 
                         wind components by around 16% in the rainy season and overestimate 
                         them by on average 18% in the dry season.",
