Most of Northeast Brazil is characterized by a semi-arid climate with high temperatures and low rainfall levels. These climatic conditions, combined with human actions such as deforestation, land use, and occupation in the ...

This study aims to numerically simulate This work aims to numerically simulate turbulent flows, in particular, the latent and sensible heat fluxes in two contrasting environments of Caatinga vegetation (preserved and ...

Tornadoes are considered sudden and violent phenomena that cause major environmental impacts on social infrastructure and human security. The simulations of this type of phenomenon through numerical modeling have been ...

In the period from December 13th to 20th, 2011, an episode of SACZ over the southeastern region of Brazil caused several records of intense and persistent rains in the Alto São Francisco watershed, with very high accumulations ...

This work aims to analyze the impact of changes on soil use and coverage upon the microclimate of the Submiddle São Francisco region. The hypothesis is that the anthropogenic interferences due to the CAI Juazeiro/Petrolina ...

The objective of this work was to determine the water requirements, dual crop coefficient and water use efficiency, as well as to analyze the growth variables of sugarcane cultivated in the coastal tablelands of the State ...

The extreme cold/heat events may significantly influence society, including damage to health. Likewise, the human thermal comfort is highly dependent on climatic conditions. The objective of this work was to establish a ...

Irrigation evaluation in arid and semiarid regions is imperative to ensure the sustainable use of limited water resources and to guarantee food production. This study aimed to evaluate the consumptive use of water for ...

The Una River basin has been suffering in recent years with recurrent occurrences of environmental disasters. The large spatial and temporal variability of extreme weather systems favors such occurrences. Several climate ...

This work presents an estimate of the interannual variability of the balance of of the Amazon and La Plata Basins during the period from 1979 to 2016 using ERA-Interim reanalysis data from the European Center for ...
