A daily rainfall erosivity model for Western Amazonia

Elsenbeer, Helmut, Cassel, Keith, Tinner, W. January 1993 (has links)
Rainfall erosivities as defined by the R factor from the universal soil loss equation were determined for all events during a two-year period at the station La Cuenca in western Amazonia. Three methods based on a power relationship between rainfall amount and erosivity were then applied to estimate event and daily rainfall erosivities from the respective rainfall amounts. A test of the resulting regression equations against an independent data set proved all three methods equally adequate in predicting rainfall erosivity from daily rainfall amount. We recommend the Richardson model for testing in the Amazon Basin, and its use with the coefficient from La Cuenca in western Amazonia.

Análise termodinâmica dos complexos convectivos de mesoescala atuantes na costa leste do nordeste brasileiro / Thermodynamical analysis of mesoescale convective complexes over the eastern coast of brazilian northwest

Silveira, Marcio Henrique dos Santos 04 May 2012 (has links)
Thermodynamic characteristics analysis of 80 MCC events during 10 years (1999-2009) in the Brazilian Northeast was the principal goal of this study. CCM events were observed more frequently (66%) in the dry season (January March). Reanalysis data showed SST temperatures above 27°C in adjacent ocean, and a 180° wind variation in relation to lower and higher levels. MCC development (declining) stage was associated more frequently with upslope (downslope) trajectory. K ant TT indexes showed more instability of the upslope air parcels in the majority of the events. In development stage, Convective Inhibition (CIN) values showed a decrease in its values and in the declining stage an increase were seen. Radiosonde data presented average values in consistency with reference data. Potential Instability showed influence in most of the cases, especially in the upslope events in the development stage. The influence of dynamical aspects on the instability took place in a better way for the MCC than the convective forcing / A análise termodinâmica de 80 eventos de CCM ocorridos entre 1999 e 2009 é o objetivo deste estudo. Foi visto que 66% dos eventos de CCM ocorreram entre janeiro e março, estação seca na região leste do Nordeste Brasileiro. Foi verificado com dados de reanálises valores de TSM acima de 27°C no litoral adjacente e variação de 180° no vento entre baixos e altos níveis. A maioria dos casos apresentou trajetória ascendente à montanha na fase de desenvolvimento do sistema. Na fase de decaimento, a maioria das trajetórias foram descendentes. Os índices K e TT mostraram instabilização das parcelas ascendentes na maioria dos eventos. O potencial de inibição da convecção (CIN) apresentou diminuição de seus valores no desenvolvimento e aumento no decaimento. Dados de radiossondagem obtidos em Recife-PE, dentro da área de estudo, mostraram valores dos índices termodinâmicos condizentes com os valores de referência na literatura. A instabilidade potencial esteve presente na maioria dos casos, especialmente nos casos com trajetória ascendente no desenvolvimento. No período de decaimento, a influência da montanha se deu na estabilização das parcelas. A instabilidade convectiva não foi o principal fator contribuinte na instabilidade associada aos CCM, uma vez que a variação de temperatura durante o ciclo diurno foi pequena, tendo seus valores de temperatura máxima com pequena diferença com relação aos valores reais
