Resumen en inglés The most basic mass conservation method is described here in detail. A simplified version of this method is then applied to estimate the wind field over a region of complex topography, the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo City, Brazil. The resulting adjusted wind field and its horizontal divergence patterns compare well with observed wind field, indicating that the topography has a major effect in the investigated area
