                         que os diferentes regimes de escoamento noturnos afetam as 
                         condi{\c{c}}{\~o}es atmosf{\'e}ricas diurnas. Pois, a

                         regimes de escoamento na Camada Limite Noturna (CLN). O objetivo 
                         deste trabalho foi investigar a import{\^a}ncia da CLN na 
                         ocorr{\^e}ncia ou n{\~a}o das nuvens convectivas durante o 
                         decorrer do dia na regi{\~a}o central da Amaz{\^o}nia, 
                         atrav{\'e}s de um estudo observacional e de modelagem. Para a 
                         parte observacional foram usados os dados do experimento GOAmazon 
                         2014/5, e para a parte de modelagem foi utilizado o modelo global 
                         BAM (Brazilian Global Atmospheric model). Os resultados mais 
                         importantes s{\~a}o: i) Os dados de vento de radiossondagens, de 
                         dados de Radar Dopler e experimentos de modelagem mostram que 
                         existe uma clara rela{\c{c}}{\~a}o entre os valores de vento 
                         horizontal e de umidade no topo e acima da CLN com a 
                         forma{\c{c}}{\~a}o ou n{\~a}o de nuvens convectivas profundas 
                         durante o decorrer do dia e ii) os experimentos de modelagem, 
                         mostram que os ventos fracos e altos valores de umidade acima da 
                         CLN (na Camada Residual), assim como a ocorr{\^e}ncia de chuvas 
                         intensas na Amaz{\^o}nia Central, podem estar associados ao 
                         transporte vertical turbulento noturno e, tamb{\'e}m, a fatores 
                         de grandes escala. ABSTRACT: The formation of deep convection in 
                         the Amazon is not yet well understood. There is a deficiency of 
                         its representation in the physical processes of numerical models 
                         of weather and climate forecasting. It is hypothesized here that 
                         the different flow regimes at night affect the daytime atmospheric 
                         conditions, as the mechanical generation of turbulence by wind 
                         shear at night and thermal destruction by stability causes 
                         different flow regimes to occur in the Nocturnal Boundary Layer 
                         (NBL). The aim of this study was to investigate the importance of 
                         the NBL in the occurrence or not of deep convection during the day 
                         in the central region of the Amazon through an observational and 
                         modeling study. For the observational part, we used the GOAmazon 
                         2014/5 experiment data, and for the modeling part, the CPTEC 
                         global model BAM (Brazilian Global Atmospheric Model). The most 
                         important results are listed here: i) radiosondes wind data, 
                         Doppler data, and modeling experiments, show that there is a clear 
                         relationship between horizontal wind intensity and humidity above 
                         NBL with the formation or not of deep convective clouds during the 
                         day and ii) modeling experiments show that weak winds and high 
                         humidity values above the NBL (in the residual layer), as well as 
                         the occurrence of heavy rainfall in the Central Amazon during the 
                         day, are associated with vertical turbulent mixing during the 
                         night as well as with large-scale factors.",
