The Amazon Basin, centered in Brazil, has the largest tropical rainforest on Earth, storing about 15% of the total global biomass carbon pool. The Amazon forests remove 0.4 Pg C y-1 from the atmosphere, about 4% of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions each year. Evapotranspiration by the Amazon forest provides a steady flow of water vapor to the atmosphere, acting as a major water vapor…
The FAPESP - Shell Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Innovation aims to be a world-class Centre for advanced studies with a focus on innovation towards sustainability and mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. The Centre complements Fapesp's experiences in supporting high-level scientific research and technology development towards these fields. It aims to establish a world-class Centre…
LLF Agrometeorologia e Soluções LTDA is developing the product Weather Service-Agro, an application (or Web platform) to assist the decision making of the farmer. The PIPE1 allowed to perform the proof of concept and development of the 'minimum viable product' (MVP) and the partnership with WBGI allowed to develop the entire structure of the company, from organizational management tools t…
The company 7AgroScience has not yet been formally constituted via CNPJ, due to the latest restrictions on movements related to Covid-19, and this will occur as soon as there is a return to the possibility of travel. The Company is formed with the differential of specialists in different areas, covering agriculture, meteorology and information technology. 7AgroScience is developing an agr…
The annual plan of implementation of the portion of the technical reserve for Institutional Infrastructure costs for research of INPE provides for the acquisition of a ground station for Environmental/Meteorological Satellites, and sanitizing of books in the library, with the following areas of the INPE: CPTEC, CEA, CST, OBT, and SID.1) Center for weather forecast and Climatic Studies (C…

The Amazon forest fulfills an essential role in the global balance of carbon and regional climate. The superficies and the atmosphere are intrinsically coupled by exchanges of energy, trace gases, and water vapor. On one side, the climate can influence the dynamics of land use changes, for example, favoring the occurrence of deforestation in drought events. On the other hand, deforestati…

This research plan is part of the FAPESP/NSFC 2022/07974-0, entitled: "Synergistic effects of climate change and land use on carbon source and sink of Amazon Forest ecosystem". This project intends to increase the scale of representativeness of local measures to the regional scale, as well as assessing the relative importance of different processes in the interaction forest-atmosphere-clo…
This research is part of the RCGI project - 64 GHG project - D.1, which has the title: "Greenhouse gas emissions in the Amazon and data analysis system and services". In this project, a multidisciplinary team will build a computer system that integrates data associated with land use changes, remote sensing of greenhouse gases, meteorological parameters, forest degradation data, and models…

The Amazon rainforest plays a crucial role in global carbon cycle and climate regulation, however, has experienced significant deforestation and forest degradation over the past decades. The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) has pointed out that, if drastic measures are not taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, CO2 levels will continue to rise until 2100. This could hav…
The size distribution of aerosols and the relationship of such distribution and concentration on weather events remain unknown in many aspects. During the research internship abroad it is intended to improve the knowledge of aerosol instrumentation and data analysis, focusing on the objectives of the main project (2021/03547-7), in which we are investigating some of the current open quest…
Droplet size distributions (DSDs) determine many characteristics of clouds, such as the onset of precipitation and cloud glaciation, and also influence the effect of clouds on radiation. During the proposed Research Internship Abroad, we intend to analyze the effects of turbulence on the evolution of DSDs in Large Eddy Simulations (LES) with bin microphysics, thus studying the reasons for…
The main objective of this proposal is to analyze cloud particle size distributions (PSDs - both liquid droplets and ice particles) of Amazonian convective systems in several altitudes and life-time stages. The HALO aircraft was deployed in Manaus-AM - Brazil as part of the ACRIDICON/CHUVA experiment, carrying out measurements of aerosol particles, cloud microphysics, trace gases and radi…
