Acesso em 23 abr. 2020.2177-8396https://repositorio.ufrn.br/jspui/handle/123456789/28963The objective of this paper is experimentally study the thermodynamic behavior of the Convective Boundary Layer (CBL) in the Caatinga biome. Data were obtained through the project CHUVA in April 2013 in the Rio Grande do Norte and Ceará states. The rawinsondings were carried out conducted in the municipalities of Mossoró-RN and Quixeramobim-CE. The variables measured were: pressure, temperature, relative humidity, speed and wind direction.As analysis procedure was done using the method of the profiles and the t-student test. The results showed that the Convective Boundary Layer developed in Mossoró, on average, was shallower, cooler and drier compared to Quixeramobim. Only potential temperature was different at a significance level of 5%.Bioma caatingaProjeto chuvaTermodinâmica do semiáridoarticle
