A cidade por consequência de seu processo de organização e estruturação desenvolveu um clima totalmente particular, o clima urbano, isso é possível através da retirada da vegetação original e a inserção dos chamados equipamentos urbanos, como por exemplo, as vias impermeabilizadas, as construções, a verticalização, além da circulação de pessoas e veículos que irão contribuir para maior aquecimento da atmosfera local. Os materiais presentes no meio urbano vão apresentar diferentes valores de albedo, emissividade, absortividade e irradiação e consequentemente, estes condicionarão diferentes valores de temperatura de superfície e que influenciarão na temperatura do ar. O presente estudo tem por objetivo analisar o comportamento do clima urbano na cidade de Juiz de Fora- MG, onde foram trabalhadas 35 regiões urbanas, localizadas ao longo do curso do Rio Paraibuna. O estudo busca através da aplicação de um modelo geoespacial, interligar variáveis que possuem uma conexão direta com a temperatura de superfície e indireta com a temperatura do ar. Este conjunto de dados permitiu alcançar uma maior compreensão, viabilizou a espacialização e consequentemente uma visualização de como se distribuem as áreas e suas diferentes capacidades de criarem distintos campos térmicos na cidade.Além disso, para fins de validação do modelo, foi feita uma correlação estatística entre o modelo matemático proposto e a temperatura de superfície obtida na faixa do infravermelho termal. O modelo utilizado provou possuir consistência para ser adaptado a fim de ser replicado em diferentes cidades com especificidades térmicas além de ser viável a integração de outras informações e dados. / Concern about so-called urban environmental impacts has fostered greater interest in research, especially those focused on climate analysis, on the urban scale. The city as a result of its process of organization and structuring has developed a totally particular climate, the urban climate, this is possible through the removal of the original vegetation and the insertion of so-called urban equipment, such as waterproofed roads, constructions, verticalization, besides the circulation of people and vehicles that will contribute to greater warming of the local atmosphere. The materials present in the urban environment will present different values of albedo, emissivity, absorptivity and irradiation and consequently, these will condition different values of surface temperature and that will influence the air temperature. The present study aims to analyze the behavior of the urban climate in the city of Juiz de Fora- MG, where 35 urban areas were located along the course of the Paraibuna River. The study searches through the application of a geospatial model, interconnecting variables that have a direct coexistence with the surface temperature and indirect with the air temperature. This dataset allowed to reach a greater understanding, made possible the spatialization and consequently a visualization of how the areas are distributed and their different capacities to create different thermal fields in the city. In addition, for purposes of validation of the model, a statistical correlation was made between the proposed mathematical model and the surface temperature obtained in the thermal infrared range. The model used proved to have consistency to be adapted in order to be replicated in different cities with thermal specificities besides being feasible the integration of other information and data.

The Reliability Of An Energy Balance Model In Simulating Climatic Responses Due To Increases In Carbon Dioxide Levels

Culver, Christopher Robin 04 1900 (has links)
<p> A relatively simple climatic model based on the energy balance has been used to examine the climatic responses due to increases in carbon dioxide CO2. Simulations concerning the CO2 concentration, the cloud fraction and the ocean's mixed-layer depth were all performed using an IBM-PC personal computer. The results were intended to provide a better understanding of the processes involved in an EBM, as well as the importance of this type of model in simulating climatic responses. There were four main areas of study within the research centred around both a decrease and an increase in CO2 concentration, changes in the cloud fraction and the influence of the ocean's mixed-layer. </p> <p> The role of the oceans in the climate system is still somewhat of a mystery to most scientists. in terms of its affect on a CO2 enhanced climate. Changes in the cloud fraction serve either to enhance or suppress the effect of CO2 on the surface temperature of the planet. This is dependant on whether the amount of cloud is reduced or increased. The focus of the study is based on the changes in carbon dioxide concentration levels. Simulations confirm, that when CO2 is reduced. the surface temperature will decrease as well. When CO is halved. the temperature decrease is 2.51 ° C. In contrast, when CO2 is doubled the surface temperature rose by 2.91 °C . Thus. causing the present clay climate of the model to warm drastically. </p> <p> The reliability of the results proved to be difficult to assess. The model tends to overestimate decreases in temperature when co~ is reduced in content. However. Burt's model does seem to accurately represent increases in temperature for 2x CO2 .The simulation results fall within a range defined by the results of selected radiative convective models (RCM). Nevertheless. there is a need for increased research in the area of effects. produced by other parameters on a CO2 enhanced climate. </p> / Thesis / Bachelor of Arts (BA)
