This project will study experimentally the vertical profile of cloud microphysics and its response to the atmospheric load of aerosols, with a level of spatial and temporal detail that cannot be paralleled by current experimental techniques. This research topic is important for weather and climate since aerosols can change the mean lifetime of clouds, their reflective properties, the loca…
The importance of atmospheric aerosols to the climate has been discussed for several years by the international scientific community. The difficulties associated with the characterization of atmospheric aerosols contribute to the non-existent uncertainties in models of climate changes. One of the instruments used for studies of atmospheric aerosols on a large scale are sensors on board sa…
This research plan aims the simulation, by using a radiative transfer code, of upwelling radiance measurements performed by satellite sensors, when observing Amazon's forested surface. The impact Earth surface can exert over climate has a large scientific relevance, since in average the surface absorbs around 48.0% of solar energy and reflects around 6.7% of the solar radiation back to sp…
This research plan will compare cloud fraction estimates over the Amazon, in retrievals from different platforms. The clouds impact over climate is a current research topic, since clouds in average are responsible for about 47.5% of planetary albedo (Stephens et al., 2012). Over a defined area, cloud cover is the most relevant macroscopic property to determine the incident solar flux. How…
This research plan aims to enhance a system designed for measuring the reflected and emitted radiance by clouds. The impact of clouds upon climate is of great scientific significance. Several cloud properties can be altered by the smoke originated in biomass burning. To know how clouds can change their properties is essential for studies on climate change in Brazil. Under several aspects …
