                         increase of ozone (O-3) in the surface by the influence of density 
                         currents formed by downdrafts from mesoscale convective systems, 
                         using as tool the JULES-CCATT-BRAMS model. Initially, the 
                         superficial increases of O-3 were investigated with the ECMWF 
                         Era-Interim reanalysis that showed a plume rich in O-3 located at 
                         middle troposphere along with the increase of this gas' 
                         concentration in the surface during the rainy period in Central 
                         Amazon. GOES satellite images and surface synoptic charts showed 
                         the formation of a squall line (SL) in the interior of the 
                         Continent by the influence of a Frontal System that reached the 
                         southeast of South America in this period. The numerical 
                         simulation results provided an understanding of the 
                         three-dimensional structure of the chemistry and thermodynamics of 
                         the atmosphere during the passage of this SL at dawn on April 14, 
                         2014. The downdrafts from SL bring cooler, drier, dense air to 
                         near the surface. This downdrafts air column passed by the O-3 
                         {"}plume{"} in the middle troposphere, formed rich gas density 
                         currents and low level jets were induced near the surface and 
                         spread the O-3. Finally, this cleaner air column decreased the 
                         surface carbon monoxide (CO) levels, and as a result of the 
                         increase in O-3 concentration resulted in an increase in surface 
                         nitrogen dioxide (NO2).",
