• Abstract

  The physical process inside the clouds is one of the most unknown components of the weather and climate system. A description of the cloud processes through the use of standard meteorological parameters in numerical models has to be strongly improved to accurately describe the characteristics of hydrometeors, the latent heating profiles, the radiative balance, the air entrainment and the …

• Abstract

  The scientific questions and objectives of the present proposal are based on an integrated view of the physical environment of the Amazon region and its role in global climate. The project has as a general objective the understanding of the processes controlling the transition season in southwest Amazônia. Specifically the main scientific questions are: What is the comparative impact of r…

• Abstract

  This project is aimed to characterize the turbulence and the surface boundary layer structure over the area of the Alcântara Launch Center (ALC). Currently all rockets of Brazil and some other nations are launched from ALC. The nearest atmospheric layer from the surface is that that has stronger influence upon rockets' track. In addition, turbulence affects straightforward the rockets' st…
