abstract = "The relationships of strong winds and heavy rainfall in Sao Paulo
State, Brazil, was investigated. Wind data from Project
Elektro/Climatico collected by thirteen Platforms of Data
Collection were used. The results showed that in the west sector
the occurrence of strong winds was higher in the center and south
areas and decreased northwards. In the central sector the
occurrence of strong wind episodes was higher southwards while in
the litoral it was lower due to probably the lack of wind data
collected during the austral summer. In Teodoro Sampaio,
Andradina, Santa Rita d'Oeste, Votuporanga (west), Rio Claro,
Tatui (central) and Ubatuba (litoral) 15, 18, 28, 12, 11, 7 and 3
extreme events occurred, respectively (maximum wind higher than 20
ms-1 together with rainfall higher than 25 mm day-1). A case study
of an episode of extreme event which occurred in Andradina on 15
October 2009 was examined. Heavy rainfall accompanied with high
winds and strong divergence at 200 hPa and ascending motion were
observed in the region due to intense convection along a cold
front that moved fast over Sao Paulo State. The identification of
regions with strong winds and their relation with heavy
precipitation must drive electrical energy generation and
distribution what is important nowadays. So, the main importance
of this research is its applicability to the energy sector.",
