Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Instituto de Astronomia, Geofísica e Ciências Atmosféricas (IAG) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Holds a degree in Meteorology from the University of São Paulo (2011), a master's degree in Meteorology from the National Institute for Space Research (2013) and a PhD in Meteorology from the National Institute for Space Research (2017). He is currently a Professor at the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at IAG-USP. His main research focus is on the physics of convective clouds through remote sensing instruments and high resolution numerical models. In particular, he seeks to study the effects of anthropogenic pollution on the cloud and rain regimes in the Amazon and the consequences for the planet's climate. Is an affiliated member of the São Paulo State Academy of Science. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Our main hypothesis deals with precipitation efficiency, defined as the ratio of the atmospheric water vapor to the surface accumulated precipitation. Precipitation is the result of multiple chaining and non-linear processes that depend on factors such as the large-scale meteorological context, the vertical profiles of moisture, temperature, and winds, alongside aerosol concentrations and…
Our main hypothesis deals with interaction between thermodynamic and microphysical processes and how they help organize locally generated convective cloud fields over the Amazon. The organization of cloud field here is viewed as the physical distribution of the clouds over a certain domain, as well as the size distribution and the distance between the clouds themselves. Several small clou…

The horizontal and vertical dimensions of the clouds largely determine their role in the energy and hydrological cycle of the atmosphere in the Amazon. The horizontal coverage of the clouds directly affects the amount of solar radiation reflected by the planet, while the vertical extent (or depth) affects the formation and type of precipitation. There is evidence that increases in the con…
Convective clouds play a key role in the water, carbon, and energy budgets over the Amazon. Pollution emitted by biomass burning or anthropogenic activities significantly disrupts the cloud characteristics by increasing the number of droplets while reducing their mean size. We propose a new approach to investigate whether such changes lead to cloud invigoration or inhibition, respectively…
Deep convective clouds have high impact on modern society given its ability to generate electrification and intense precipitation. However, its predictability is still poor because of the complex nature of the process involving the formation and development of thunderstorm clouds. This project aims to contribute to the nowcasting of such systems by studying the evolution of macro and micr…

Climate models have a long-lasting issue about reproducing the evolution of cumulus cloud fields from shallow to deep convection in the tropics. It has been shown that deep clouds are generally triggered too quickly, causing errors in the prediction of the rainfall diurnal cycle. Since clouds are major players in the energy and moisture redistribution over the Amazon, this issue has signi…
This BEPE proposal has the aim of filling the conceptual gap of the associated domestic project. The latter is focused on studying macro- and microphysical aspects of rain as seen by a X-band radar. Given that a significant portion of the rain that reaches the surface is created by ice and mixed processes, there is a need to further study those aspects. The proposed activities of this BEP…
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…
