We investigate the validity of a method of humidity regimes classification, based on different "states" characterization of the Tropical Atmospheric Boundary Layer (TABL), above a forest area, according to the methodology proposed by Mahrt (1991). To perform this investigation we used radiosonde information and micrometeorological tower data collected during the drier season of the region, during the experiment "COBRA-PARÁ" (carried out from 30/10 to 15/11, 2006). The analysis of moisture regimes is based on the "phase space" data representation, where the Bowen ratio (β) is plotted against the -h/L parameter (where h is the height of the turbulent mixing layer and L is the Obukhov length scale). According to the location of the data value in this "phase space" it was possible to identify the following classes: Class I - dry air and unstable conditions, Class II - dry wind, Class III - wet wind, Class IV - wet air and unstable conditions, Class V - occurrence of water condensation on the surface, Class VI - stable conditions predominance and Class VII - dew formation generated by nocturnal radiative losses with surface cooling. Among the mentioned classes, the III, IV and VI were the most frequently observed at Caxiuanã.
