| Sumario: | The present paper aims to characterize the dynamics of the winds in the city of Curitiba, capital of the state of Paraná, Southern region of Brazil. To do such characterization, Wind direction and Wind speed data were collected at the official meteorological station of Simepar, for the period from 2004 until 2015, an amount of 12 years of hourly data. The analyzes were made upon the generation of boxplots, pointing the oscillation on the Wind speed values at monthly and hourly scale, and the generation of Wind rose graphics revealing the predominant directions in hourly and monthly scales. It was concluded that the winds in Curitiba are predominantly from the sectors East and Northeast during all the year, and during a day, they alternate themselves. |
