Model 
              Description Brazilian Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (BRAMS)
              
              BRAMS (Brazilian Regional Atmospheric Modeling System) is a joint 
              project of ATMET, IME/USP, IAG/USP and CPTEC/INPE, funded by FINEP 
              (Brazilian Funding Agency), aimed to produce a new version of RAMS 
              (http://www.atmet.com) tailored 
              to the tropics. The main objective is to provide a single model 
              to Brazilian Regional Weather Centers. The BRAMS/RAMS model is a 
              multipurpose, numerical prediction model designed to simulate atmospheric 
              circulations spanning in scale from hemispheric scales down to large 
              eddy simulations (LES) of the planetary boundary layer.  
              Current 
                projects involving BRAMS are:
              • 
                BRAMSNET (Finep), retro-fitting operational experience and research 
                into model maintenance, generating new versions of BRAMS. Main 
                accomplishment to date is the web page (http://brams.cptec.inpe.br/). 
                Joint work with FURG, UFRJ, USP, UFCG, Somar, Itautec. Report

              • 
                SegHidro (Finep), creating a portal to submit atmospheric models, 
                hydrological models and risk analysis model (http://seghidro.lsd.ufcg.edu.br/). 
                Joint work with UFCG and FUNCEME.
               
              • 
                GBRAMS (Finep), creating a portal to submit BRAMS climatology. 
                Joint work with LAC/INPE and IC/UFRGS.
