             abstract = "high-resolution simulation of a real case is carried out in 
                         Eastern Amazon (Northeastern coast of State of Par{\'a}) with the 
                         Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model in order to 
                         analyze/detect local circulation features in the region. To this 
                         end, we simulated a case with low interference of synoptic weather 
                         systems and precipitation aiming to eliminate the effects of 
                         convective systems in local circulations. The performance of the 
                         model for the day studied was evaluated and the existence of 
                         circulations found in the simulation was confirmed through 
                         observational data. The model performance evaluation showed that 
                         the model was able to capture most of the patterns for the studied 
                         area. The simulation captured the presence of three main 
                         circulations: the Sea Breeze (SB), on the coast; the Land Breeze 
                         (LB), also on the coast; and the Bay Breeze (BB), which forms on 
                         both banks of Maraj{\'o} Bay. In addition to these three major 
                         circulations, the high-resolution simulations also revealed the 
                         presence of a river breeze (RB) from Guam{\'a} River and a 
                         fan-shaped circulation on the entrance of Guajar{\'a} Bay. The 
                         observational data confirmed the presence of Guam{\'a} River 
                         breeze from the Southeast, which is more active from July to 
                         September.",
