Humberto Rocha is Full Professor at Dept of Atmospheric Sciences/IAG/University of São Paulo. Expertise in Hydroclimatology, Hydrometeorological instrumentation, and Biosphere-Atmosphere Interaction. Coordinates the Climate and Biosphere Lab at IAG/USP. He uses computational atmospheric models, and rainfall-runoff and plant productivity models. He has run hydrometeorological observatories with flux tower and hydrological gauges in cropland and native areas in Amazonia, Cerrado and Atlantic forest. He was a participant of Brasil-UK ABRACOS Project 1990, and of LBA Experiment (2000-2010). He leaded projects in the Biota-FAPESP Program and the Climate Change FAPESP Program.

- Integrating innovative time-lapse geophysical techniques across the water-energy nexus, AP.R
Abstract
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 feasibili...
- Brazilian experimental datasets for multi scale interactions in the critical zone under extreme drought, AP.R
Abstract
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 ...
- Climate-smart watershed investments in the montane tropics of South America (ClimateWise), AP.PFPMCG.TEM
Abstract
ClimateWIse will evaluate whether IWS successfully deliver water services now and if they will continue to be effective in a changing climate. In doing so, the research will inform broad questions about the hydrologic impacts of land-use and climate change in tropical montane South America. To evaluate whether IWS are currently improving water resources, we will 1.1) evaluate the outcom...
- Paving the way for a CO2-enrichment experiment in the Amazon: a proposal for expertise exchange, AP.R
Abstract
One of the top-priority questions in global environmental change Science today is to know the effects increasing atmospheric [002] can have on the physiological/ecological dynamics of tropical forest and its fluxes of greenhouse-gases in the context of climate change. However, so far no Free-Air CO2 Enrichment experiment has been implemented in a tropical forest. The scientific exchange...
- A geosensor network to adress hydroclimatic environmental services, AP.PFPMCG.R
Abstract
The proposal seeks to make progress via two pilot studies, with the deployment of wireless hydroclimatic geosensor networks (air temperature and humidity, soil moisture and watertable), over two experimental sites, namely an Atlantic tropical forest watershed, and a Farmland watershed at the PCJ basin which supplies water to Sao Paulo, and targeted measurements to be incorporated into m...
- Carbon tracker and water availability controls of land use and climate changes, AP.PFPMCG.TEM
Abstract
This proposal concerns the Consequences of global climate change in the functioning of ecosystems, with emphasis on the water and carbon cycles, especially the sectors of water resources and agriculture, and the balance of radiation in the atmosphere, aerosols, trace gases and changes in land use. The proposal seeks to estimate and interpret greenhouse gases (GHG) and surface hydrologic...

- Estimation of air temperature with remote sensing: a case study for the São Paulo Macrometropolitan region, BP.IC
Abstract
The air temperature is a climate variable with high social relevance as it controls conditions for human wealth, working and health, mainly in big cities, beyond various other circumstances as agricultural production, water availability in the headwaters for human supply and hydroelectric generation. This proposes aims to build a climatology of air temperature for the macrometropolitan ...
- Catchment water balance in Ribeirão das Posses watershed, Extrema, Minas Gerais, BP.DD
Abstract
The land cover system can exert significant influence on the flow seasonality standard, in the regime transient peak of flow, for example, by the action of forest cover in reducing rainfall intensity that reach the soil and the increase of infiltration, by increasing the storage capacity water of the soil from the increased infiltration and/or soil structure provided by the more complex...
- Near-surface climatic patterns and statistical downscaling in complex terrain at south-east Brazil, BP.PD
Abstract
Near surface climate is crucial for research and applications in various fields, such as hydrology, agriculture and ecology. In Brazil, currently used sources of surface climate information fail to represent the spatio-temporal variability at the local and mesoscale. This is especially true in montane terrain where the variability is exacerbated by a broad-spectrum of process controlled...
- Patterns of surface air turbulence, preliminary to local convective rain: a case study in 3 regions of Brazil, BP.IC
Abstract
The turbulent regime of the atmosphere at the surface depends largely on the amount and sources of heat and moisture, which constrains the processes of convective rainfall and its onset. This proposal seeks to assess the patterns of the atmospheric turbulence at the surface, with the purpose to associate it with the ingredients previously to the onset and triggering of convective rainfa...
- Surface water balance in the Serra do Mar and Serra da Mantiqueira region, BP.IC
Abstract
The basins of upper Piracicaba river and the Paraíba do Sul river faced unprecedent water shortage between 2013 and 2014, due to the significant reduction of the streamflow and the regional precipitation in the Southeast Brazil. The knowledge and interpretation of the climate variability and its consequences on the water availability are approached regionally upon the use of spatio-temp...
