The large clusters of urban areas end up creating a new urban climate generated by the interference of factors that occur on the urban boundary layer and act altering the climate on a local scale. The urban characteristics associated with the types and degrees of density and use that cover the ground have the ability to change the climate elements that make up the local atmosphere. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the influence of land use on the microclimate in Cuiaba-MT-Brazil through differences in temperature and humidity intraurbana the municipality. For this, we used the methodology of mobile nocturnal transects in four seasons, using a digital hygrometer, protected shelter, attached to the side of a vehicle that left the rural periphery, and the center has reached the opposite end of town , in the east / west and then north / south. Records were set to 20h, for analysis thermo-hygrometric and detection of climate anomalies such as heat island, showing the influence of anthropogenic changes in the urban environment. The urban density and vegetation removal are determining factors in behavior modification thermo-hygrometric, being evident the influence of the flow of vehicles in the heat gain in the middle, while areas under the influence of large masses of vegetation, showed characteristics with microclimates different from other areas of the city, since there is a contribution to the energy loss in the middle and fall in temperature and increase in relative humidity. Therefore, this study contributes to diagnose any changes in climate due to urban growth process of Cuiabá, which need to be considered by planners and managers to be taken to help with the improvement of environmental quality and life of the population.Downloads

Ethical guidelines for journal publication
The REMOA 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. Reviews 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 referee 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.
