• Abstract

  Brazil has a significant potential for the use of solar energy, classified as a renewable source. The use of solar energy has the potential of to increase the country's energy security and to contribute with the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The present study focuses on understanding and assessing the impact of aerosols on the incidence of solar irradiation in two highly urbanize…

  Aerosol effect on solar irradiation in the coastal zones: metropolitan areas of Baixada Santista (SP) and Rio de Janeiro, BP.IC

• Abstract

  Solar energy and, in particular, concentrating solar technologies have shown a noteworthy growth potential in Brazil in scenarios of climate change mitigation. The accurate assessment of the surface solar irradiation and, in particular, of the direct normal irradiation (DNI) is critical to support the planning, decision making and future operation of solar energy facilities. On the other …

• Abstract

  A mapping of the dry and wet deposition of nitrogen species in South America will be performed, aiming an assessment of the modifications in the biogeochemical cycles of the potential affected ecosystems in South America. The use of the 3D atmospheric transport model CCATT-BRAMS "Coupled Chemistry-Aerosol-Tracer Transport model coupled to Brazilian Regional Atmospheric Modelling System" i…

  Reactive nitrogen deposition in South America, BP.DR

(Only some records are available in English at this moment)

• Abstract

  Data from several in-situ studies suggest that the organic fraction in the total reactive nitrogen (Nr) atmospheric deposition is significant both worldwide and in South America. Uncertainties in its modeling are also very high and, typically, models tend to underestimate the organic fraction. The present project aims to reduce the gap between observational data and modeling results for o…
