DESCRIPTION OF THE GEOGRAPHIC FACTORS AND ATMOSPHERIC CIRCULATION SYSTEMS ACTIVATING IN THE STATE OF PARÁ, BRAZIL

Abstract

As an integral part of the doctoral research entitled: “Climate dynamics and rainfall in the state
of Pará, Brazil: proposal for a climate classification”, this work was developed, considering the
theoretical-methodological framework shaped by Geographical Climatology, particularly from
the guidelines offered by Monteiro (1973), which propose an understanding of atmospheric
dynamics in conjunction with surface attributes, which are the relief and its topography. Thus, it
was a matter of understanding such attributes competent to the state of Pará, with the premise that
in the future, in the final outcome of the research, employing the other steps concerning Monteiro's
proposal (1973). As results obtained, an interpretation of the elaborated thematic cartographic
production is highlighted, aimed at representing the geomorphological and topographic
components, in association, still, with the atmospheric circulation systems operating in the state
of Pará
