The Centre for Water and Food Security at Critical Zones has the main goal to improve solutions to problems on water and food security in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, with emphasis in the management water risk at local and regional scale. The basic field and historical inventory information will be focused at spatial critical zones (headwaters, agricultural plots and specific urban are…
To understand how the Biosphere contributes to the hydrological and climate system and its social impact is a global priority of WMO/Urban Integrated Weather, Environment and Climate Services, that enphasizes the high potential of ecosystem services for the improvement on water, food and energy securities, on functions and conservation of biodiversity, and on human well being in dense urb…
The proposed programme focus on demonstrating the applicability of innovative time-lapse geoelectrical methods as a non-invasive tool for measuring key hydrogeological parameters at relevant scales for catchment-based water resource management. More specifically, through a programme of exchange activities, workshops and field demonstrations, the programme will investigate the feasibility…
BEMUSED recognizes that a more scale-integrated view of the role of soil moisture in the critical zone (the earth's outer layer from vegetation canopy to the soil and groundwater that sustains life) is of great importance in South America. Soil moisture is a key environmental variable of the hydrological cycle connecting the rapid changes in atmospheric conditions near the surface with sl…

O plano visa consolidar a consistência físico-estatística de medições micrometeorológicas em torres de fluxo, identificando e corrigindo erros sistemáticos e aleatórios para aprimorar estimativas de calor sensível e latente, e de CO2. Serão padronizados dados em formato ASC, CF/NetCDF, aplicados filtros de qualidade e correções físicas. A análise incluirá balanço de energia, variabilidad…
Seasonal (1 to 6 months) and subseasonal (1 to 4 weeks) forecasts gained prominence after extreme climatic events such as the El Niño events of 1982/83 and 1997/98 and the La Niña event of 1988/89, which impacted global temperature and precipitation patterns. Comparing forecasts with past observations, as done in C3S and SubC, allows both validation of model quality and adjustments for hy…
Variations in productivity and vegetation types of a land cover affect the quality of ecosystem services it provides, such as temperature reduction, carbon assimilation, and more. This research aims to analyze the dependency relationships of net primary productivity with hydroclimatic and biophysical indices, focusing on pastures, to observe how variations in productivity levels impact ec…

This research focuses on the possible reasons for climate variation in the State of São Paulo from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century. To conduct it, data from the meteorological collections of the Geographic and Geological Commission of São Paulo will be compared with current meteorological data for the city of São Paulo. The aim of the research is to understand how climate pat…
Urbanized areas tend to be warmer than their surroundings, phenomenon known as Urban Heat Island (UHI). High temperatures are associated with an increase in population mortality and in the spread of vector diseases such as dengue fever. As most of the Brazilian and world population lives in cities today, it is very important to study and understand UHIs, especially to determine which plac…
Este plano de trabalho visa a implementação de algoritmo de inteligência artificial com banco de dados orientado pra aplicação em hidroclimatologia. A arquitetura deverá estabelecer ferramentas básicas de organização de processos para manipulação de grandes quantidades de dados em múltiplas dimensões, construidas sobre um módulo Xarray Python. A consolidação será em Python Keras, uma bibl…

Urban areas are generally warmer than their surroundings, a phenomenon known as the Urban Heat Island (UHI), which has important implications for public health. This phenomenon mainly occurs because the materials that make up cities heat up more easily when exposed to solar radiation compared to vegetation and bodies of water. The heterogeneity of cities, with variability in materials, ve…
Small catchments are often characterized by high levels of heterogeneity and complexity, especially in relation to their climatology and hydrology. The porpoise of this project is to estimate the water balance at the headwaters of the Cantareira reservoirs system using multi-instrumented watersheds, with field measurements of climatic data (rainfall, temperature, air humidity, wind speed)…
