             abstract = "The terrestrial equatorial tropopause is generally treated as a 
                         region of modest temperature variations and seen only as an 
                         interface between the troposphere and the stratosphere. However, 
                         recent works have suggested that the tropopause may be a source of 
                         disturbances capable of locally affecting the tropospheric 
                         climate. In this context, the present work describes an 
                         investigation of the equatorial tropopause cold point over Natal- 
                         RN, from data of radiosondes of weather balloons launched from the 
                         Center of Launch Barreira do Inferno (CLBI) during the years from 
                         2010 to 2014. The main results showed the seasonal minimum 
                         temperature of the tropopause presents lower values during the 
                         autumn while the higher ones occur during the winter. The 
                         hypothesis accepted by the authors is the Intertropical 
                         Convergence Zone drives instabilities on the seasonal behavior due 
                         to the release of energy to the upper troposphere.",
