This article analyzes the intense rainfall observed in the morningof 11 September 2002 in Santa Maria, located in central region of Rio Grandedo Sul State. Regional reanalysis from CPTEC/INPE, satellite images andsimulation data with BRAMS were used. The strong rainfall was generatedby prefrontal convection, triggered by the approach of a cold front,associated with an extratropical cyclone located over the southern tip ofSouth America, and supplied by moisture from amazon basin. Relevantmeteorological parameters indicate that the storm that reached Santa Mariamay have been a supercell, a system that triggers most of the tornadoesaround the world. The simulation with regional model presented similaritiesand divergences with respect to the observation. Among the similarities:onset of the convection around 1700UTC in the Brazil-Argentina border;propagation of this convection southeastward towards the center of theRio Grande do Sul State; and formation of new cells towards Argentina.Among the divergences: the simulation showed that the precipitation wasmore spatially concentrated than observed; the model tends to generatemore precipitation in the bottom of the valleys; and the propagation of theconvection northwestward towards Paraguay was slower than observed.Downloads

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication
The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
