This paper discusses the development of a data interpolation scheme applicable to the regional numerical weather prediction models (i.e. BRAMS) output, allowing the coupling of these models with atmospheric dispersion models. To evaluate this tool, the BRAMS wind field is used as input to the Atmospheric Dispersion Model (Zimora) developed by the Laboratório de Micrometeorologia of the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM).
