In this work local circulation patterns are investigated for the year of 2010 in the Sobradinho Lake region, at the 25 m and 50 m levels. The hodographs illustrate the local wind variation in the four quadrants of the wind rose, in the majority of the months. The local time (LT) and magnitude of the maxima and minima intensities depend on the time of the year. A negative vertical shear in the local wind during the late night-early morning (night) is more evident in the period from May to September (October to February). The local wind, at times of maximum intensity, represents up to 60% of the observed wind speed and, in the remaining of the twenty four hours of the day, between 10 and 30%. This ratio decreases with height in the twelve months of 2010, and is more evident in the periods 4-6 LT and 17-20 LT, with exception of March and June, respectively. The local circulations may be associated with coupling between the land (lake) breeze and the catabatic (anabatic) winds during the late night-early morning (late afternoon-early night). The months of June, July and August show less variability in wind direction, favoring a better use of the wind turbines.

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.
