The research was developed in the Rural Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Department of Engineering, Machinery Area and Energy in Agriculture. The data were obtained from an experiment installed in the production area of Company Feno Rio Agro LTDA, partner in the project. Images were acquired in 2 times one after 36 days due to the cutting standardization of culture using a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) and at 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 56 days using an imaging platform an experiment with 6 portions 250m2 (10x25m) containing respectively the treatments (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 kg ha-? N), statistical analyzes were performed the computer program SAS version student using PROCDISCRIM procedure. It was determined discriminant functions for each dose of nitrogen, using as feature vectors vegetation indices (NDVI, GNIR, SAVI, GNDVI, RNIR). These discriminant functions were tested in a Bayesian classifier, and the highest accuracies were using vegetation indices together getting a Kappa coefficient and overall accuracy of 83% and 80%, respectively. The results indicate that low cost multispectral images can be used to develop classifiers of nitrogen applied to the soil. These binders may be applied in computational algorithms in agricultural machinery control systems for fertilizer application at variable rates in precision agriculture. / O objetivo geral deste projeto foi desenvolver um classificador estat?stico com base em algoritmos utilizando o teorema bayesianos para predi??o de doses de nitrog?nio aplicadas ao solo, atrav?s de imagens multiespectrais de baixo custo em pastagens de Tifton85 A partir de informa??es obtidas nessas imagens foram calculados os ?ndices espectrais, os quais foram utilizados em um vetor de caracter?sticas para discriminar n?veis de N aplicados ao solo. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida na Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro, Departamento de Engenharia, ?rea de M?quinas e Energia na Agricultura.

Ss were 80 older persons (60 years old or more), of both genders (85% of women), who attend to third age groups. The majority (66,25%) was in the young-old group (60-69 years old), was either married (42,5%) or widowed (40%), having son (83,75%), catholic (75%), retired (61,25%), with many different professions, living in their own home (83,75%), alone (28,75%) or with husband / wife (27,5%), and of middle class (61,3%). EDAO-R is a clinical assessment, and then the reliability was taken from an interrater coefficient (Cohen s kappa) between two independent judges. The convergent validity was taken across assessment instruments, Ferrans and Power s Quality of Life Index (IQV) and the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15), as external criterion. The results showed statistically significant interaction, taken through the Spearman s correlation test, between EDAO-R and age (rs= -0,261, p<0,01) and, through the Contingency test between EDAO-R and the person s occupational conditions (C=0,468, p<0,05). The sample tended to the best adaptive levels when assessment through EDAO-R, as to the best scores when assessment through IQV and GDS-15. The reliability for the adaptive efficacy was ? =0,503. When analyzed by EDAO-R s sectors, the Affective-Relational had k=0,551; Productivity had k=0,459; Organic had k=0,612 and the Social-Cultural had k=0,650, which are considered from fair to good. Statistically significant interactions were observed through Spearman s correlation test, between EDAO-R and IQV (rs=-0,449, p<0,01) and between EDAO-R and GDS-15 (rs=0,397, p<0,01). The results are discussed considering the socio-demographic profile of the sample, and indicate that EDAO-R is a reliable and valid measure of the adaptive efficacy when applied to the elderly people who attend to third age groups. Besides that, considering the used operational assessment categories, it s possible to obtain good agreement scores between independent judges. / Considerando as evid?ncias de precis?o e validade da Escala Diagn?stica Adaptativa Operacionalizada-Redefinida (EDAO-R) quando aplicada a adultos e a necessidade de se ampliar o leque de instrumentos e procedimentos dispon?veis para a avalia??o da pessoa idosa, este estudo teve como objetivos estimar a precis?o e a validade convergente da EDAO-R, aplicada a pessoas idosas. Foram avaliadas 80 pessoas, com 60 anos ou mais de idade, de ambos os sexos, predominantemente mulheres (85%), freq?entadoras de grupos da terceira idade, com idades entre 60 e 69 anos (66,25%), casadas (42,5%) ou vi?vas (40%), tendo filhos (83,75%), de religi?o cat?lica (75%), aposentadas (61,25%), com profiss?es diversificadas, residindo em moradia pr?pria (83,75%), sozinhas (28,75%) ou com o c?njuge (27,5%), e de classe m?dia (61,3%). Por se tratar de avalia??o cl?nica, a precis?o foi estimada atrav?s de coeficiente de acordo (kappa de Cohen) entre dois ju?zes independentes. A validade convergente foi estimada utilizando-se o ?ndice de Qualidade de Vida (IQV), de Ferrans e Powers c a Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15), como crit?rios externos. Obteve-se associa??es estatisticamente significantes, atrav?s do teste de correla??o de Spearman, entre a EDAO-R e idade (rs= -0,261, p<0,01) e, atrav?s do teste de Conting?ncia, entre a EDAO-R e a condi??o ocupacional da pessoa (C=0,468, p<0,05). A amostra tendeu aos melhores n?veis adaptativos, quando avaliada pela EDAO-R, assim como aos melhores escores, quando avaliada pelo IQV e pela GDS-15. O coeficiente de precis?o obtido para a efic?cia adaptativa geral foi te=0,503. Avaliada por setores, o Afetivo- Relacional obteve k=0,551; o da Produtividade, te=0,459; o Org?nico, k=0,612 e o S?cio-Cultural k=0,650, coeficientes considerados de moderados a bons. Foram observadas associa??es estatisticamente significantes, atrav?s do teste de correla??o de Spearman, entre a EDAO-R e o IQV (rs=-0,449, p<0,01 e entre a EDAO-R e a GDS-15 (rs=0,397, p<0,01). Os resultados s?o discutidos em fun??o do perfil s?cio-demogr?fico da amostra e indicam que a EDAO-R ? uma medida precisa e v?lida da efic?cia adaptativa quando aplicada a pessoas idosas que freq?entam atividades em grupos da terceira idade. Al?m, disto, em fun??o da boa operacionaliza??o das categorias de avalia??o, ? poss?vel obter-se bons ?ndices de acordo entre avaliadores independentes.

The experiment was conducted in a Haplic Planosol soil on an Integrated Agroecological Production System (SIPA) at Embrapa Agrobiology Center/UFRRJ/Pesagro, Serop?dica, Rio de Janeiro. The evaluated management systems were: alley cropping, pasture, and forest garden as a reference area. It was used as sampling system three grids of regular spacing of 2.5 meters, consisting of 25 georeferentiated points, where soil samples at 10cm depth were taken. The following labile constituents were determined: free light fraction (FLL), water soluble C and N, C and N of BMS, and glomalin content. The areas of alley cropping and pasture showed spatial dependence to the attributes of MOS. The occurrence of larger spatial dependence of the parameters associated to microbial biomass in the alley cropping system (Corg, FLL, BMS-N and respiration), probably was due to external factors related to management, such as: intensive rotational cropping system, diversity of cultures and different inputs of organic matter to soil (pruning material and organic compost). / O objetivo do trabalho foi estudar a variabilidade espacial da biomassa microbiana (BMS) e os constituintes l?beis da mat?ria org?nica do solo (MOS), sob diferentes sistemas de manejo e cobertura vegetal. O experimento foi instalado em um Planossolo H?plico no Sistema Integrado de Produ??o Agroecol?gica (SIPA) da Embrapa Agrobiologia/UFRRJ/Pesagro, Serop?dica/RJ. Os sistemas de manejo avaliados foram: cultivo em al?ias, pastagem e horto florestal como ?rea de refer?ncia. Para a amostragem utilizou-se 3 grades regulares com espa?amento de 2,5 metros, composta de 25 pontos georreferenciados para cada grade, onde coletou-se amostras de solo na profundidade de 0-10 cm. Em cada amostra determinou-se os teores de C e N associados ? BMS e os seguintes constituintes l?beis da MOS: fra??o leve livre, formas de C e N sol?veis em ?gua e teor de glomalina. Determinaram-se tamb?m as fra??es granulom?tricas areia, silte, argila, umidade gravim?trica, bem como os atributos qu?micos c?lcio, magn?sio, f?sforo, pot?ssio, carbono org?nico, nitrog?nio total, alum?nio, CTC e pH em ?gua. Somente as ?reas de cultivo em al?ias e pastagem apresentaram depend?ncia espacial para os atributos da MOS. A ocorr?ncia de maior depend?ncia espacial dos par?metros associados ? BMS nas al?ias (Corg, fra??o leve livre da MO, BMS-N e respira??o) deveu-se provavelmente a fatores extr?nsecos relacionados ao manejo, tais como: intensa rota??o e diversidade de culturas e aporte diferenciado de adubos org?nicos (material de poda e aplica??o de compostos org?nicos).

A 'Subject Indexing Language' (SIL) is an artificial language used for formulating names of subjects. Although classificationists have sought for universals in many fields of study such as, philosophy, biology, general systems theory, etc., the search for a deep structure of SILs formally began with Ranganathan's idea of 'absolute syntax' and was brought to the present by G. Bhattacharyya and D. Austin. Whereas Bhattacharyya's deep structure of SIL is primarily based on classificatory principles (parallel to 'absolute syntax'), the deep structure proposed by Austin has a linguistic connotation. The present study describes and compares two such deep structurebased SILs, viz., PRECIS (PREserved Context Index System) and DSIS (Deep Structure Indexing System), a recent computerized version of POPSI (POstulate-based Permuted Subject Indexing), developed by F. J. Devadason at Documentation Research and Training Centre, Bangalore, India. Both also belong to the category of SILs typified as 'string indexing' languages. The study involves: i) writing of a suitable DSIS index entry generation program, ii) using both PRECIS (in-house) and DSIS programs to index a collection of representative sample documents from the soft sciences, iii) analyzing and comparing their respective syntactic and semantic aspects in terms of both linguistic and classificatory principles, and iv) applying some measures of efficiency and effectiveness. It was realized that certain modifications in the existing DSIS string manipulation algorithms are necessary to make the program fully operational. Although, no attempts have been made to quantify the measures of effectiveness and efficiency as such, suggestions have been provided as to what these probably would be. Some indications of their searching difficulties for a prospective searcher have been put forward as well.

Pesquisa do estado de Minas Gerais (FAPEMIG) / Como defendido na explora??o de impacto reduzido, o planejamento ? fundamental para o manejo sustent?vel de florestas tropicais. Novas tecnologias, como o LiDAR, t?m permitido a constru??o de mapas e obten??o de estimativas que auxiliam tanto no planejamento quanto nas etapas de explora??o e monitoramento do impacto. Com o intuito de reunir os diversos produtos do escaneamento laser aerotransportado (ALS) dispersos na literatura e ?teis no manejo florestal, o objetivo deste trabalho foi apresentar uma sequ?ncia metodol?gica para determinar e monitorar as restri??es ambientais e operacionais em uma ?rea sob manejo na Amaz?nia. A ?rea de estudo encontra-se na fazenda Cauaxi, munic?pio de Paragominas, estado do Par?. Foram sobrevoados 1214 hectares de Floresta Amaz?nica submetidas a manejo de impacto reduzido. Foram gerados os modelos digitais de terreno (MDT), hidrol?gicos e topogr?ficos. A vegeta??o foi mapeada por meio dos modelos de densidade relativa (MDR), de biomassa, de localiza??o de ?rvores dominantes e codominantes, de clareiras e gerado o mapa da infraestrutura existente. Por fim, a estrutura vertical da floresta foi analisada pela descri??o do perfil vertical do dossel. A resolu??o do MDT foi de 1 metro e foi poss?vel observar a varia??o da eleva??o local e os divisores de ?gua. A densidade de drenagem foi de 1,7 km/km? e as ?reas de preserva??o permanente (APP) de cursos d??gua e nascentes somaram 137,7 ha. Mapas pouco utilizados como os de microbacias e dist?ncias vertical e horizontal poderiam ser considerados na divis?o da ?rea em unidades de produ??o anual e na delimita??o de APP, respectivamente. A declividade variou de 0 a 30?, n?o apresentando APP por declividade, caracter?stica de um relevo predominantemente suave ondulado. As ?reas com restri??o ao trator skidder n?o ultrapassaram 1 km? e, as restritas aos caminh?es carregados somaram 1,9 km?. A densidade de estradas na ?rea foi de 23,42 m.ha-1 e o n?mero de p?tios por hectare foi de 0,04. A ?rea total impactada pela abertura de estradas, trilhas e p?tios foi de 30,77 hectares, correspondendo ? 2,54% da ?rea total. Foi poss?vel observar menores valores de biomassa nas unidades de produ??o anual j? exploradas. O mesmo ocorreu entre os valores de porcentagem de clareiras. O valor de biomassa m?dio, considerando pixels de 50 m?, foi de 35,5 kg. Os menores valores dos par?metros de forma e escala da fun??o Weibull para o sub-bosque mostraram rela??o com as ?reas impactadas pela abertura de infraestrutura, sendo uma alternativa ao MDR no monitoramento do impacto. J? o par?metro de escala para o estrato da copa teve rela??o com o modelo de m?ximo dossel, indicando a localiza??o das ?rvores emergentes. Foi poss?vel mapear de maneira precisa as ?reas com restri??es ambientais e operacionais a partir do ALS, bem como, obter outros produtos interessantes para o manejo florestal. Este trabalho apresentou um roteiro metodol?gico para a inser??o do ALS no planejamento de todas as etapas do manejo florestal. / Disserta??o (Mestrado) ? Programa de P?s-Gradua??o em Ci?ncia Florestal, Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri, 2018. / The reduced impact logging refers to the forest planning as a critical step to the sustainable tropical forest management. New technologies, such as LiDAR, have made possible to obtain maps and estimates which help on the planning, exploitation and impact monitoring phases. In order to gather the useful products of airborne laser scanning (ALS) in forest management, the objective of this work was to present a methodological sequence to determine and monitor the environmental and operational constraints in an area under management in the Amazon. The overflown area is located at the Cauaxi farm, municipality of Paragominas, state of Par?, Brazil. The ALS covered 1214 hectares of amazon forest submitted to reduced impact logging. Then, models such as digital terrain model (DTM), hydrological and topographic were extracted. Furthermore, the vegetation was mapped through models of relative density (MDR), biomass, localization of dominant and codominant trees, and clearing and map of the existing infrastructure. Finally, the forest vertical structure was analyzed by the description of the canopy height profile. The 1meter resolution DTM allowed to observe the variation of elevation and water dividers. The drainage density was 1.7 km/km? and the permanent preservation areas (PPA) related to water courses and springs comprised 137.7 ha. Underused maps such as micro-basins and vertical and horizontal distances could be considered in the division of the area into annual production units and in the PPA delimitation, respectively. The slope ranged from 0 to 30 ? and did not present PPA by slope, characteristic of a predominantly soft wavy relief. The areas restricted to the skidder tractor does not exceed 1 km?, and those restricted to loaded trucks generated a total of 1.9 km?. The density of roads inside the area was 23.42 m.ha-1 and the number of the storage yards per hectare was 0.04. The area impacted by the opening of roads, trails and yards was 30.77 hectares, corresponding to 2.54% of the total area. It was possible to observe lower values of biomass in the annual production units already exploited. The same occurred with the percentage values of clearings. The average biomass value considering pixels of 50 m? was 35.5 kg. The lower values of shape and scale parameters of the Weibull function for the understory were related to the areas impacted by the infrastructure opening. The maps obtained with the Weibull parameters for understory can be an alternative to the RDM on the impact monitoring. The canopy scale parameter was related to the tall canopy model, indicating the location of the emergent ones. It was possible to accurately map the areas with environmental and operational restrictions from the ALS, as well as obtaining other interesting products for forest management. This work presents a methodological guide for the insertion of ALS in the planning of all stages of forest management.

Soil sampling techniques studies from the use of new sensors available in the market becomes fundamental importance. The objective of this work was to compare fertilizer recommendation maps based on three different soil sampling methods to evaluate the economic and environmental component. The experiment was carried out in three distinct areas in the cities of Guarapuava and Cantagalo, both in the state of Paran?, under no-tillage system, with crops rotation of soy, oat, corn, wheat and barley. The used sampling methods were: by altitude management zones, sample meshes and electrical conductivity oriented sampling (CEa). The soil samples for the method of altitude management zones were performed after the zones definition. Mesh sampling was performed at the density of one sample per ha. The guided sampling was carried out after the definition of management zones by electrical conductivity of the soil, through the use of soil approach sensor. From the results of the laboratory analysis, recommendation maps were made for limestone, phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen application to allow comparison between methods, volumes, environmental factors and costs. With the accomplishment of this study it was possible to evaluate the spatial variability of the soil attributes, comparing the fertilizer volumes recommended, estimating the global economic cost of using the technology by sensor, as well as all the used inputs, equipment and implements. From the environmental point of view, it was possible to quantitatively and spatially evaluate the behavior of the applications of each fertilizer by sampling method. Taking the Meshes Samples method as reference, it was presented as a better alternative compared to the other methods, however, the use of soil sensors have been presented as viable technologies that need further improvement in order to provide productivity, costs reduction and consequent economic and environmental gain. / A agricultura de precis?o tem sido uma alternativa para redu??o de custos na agricultura e ganho ambiental, podendo ainda facilitar a aplica??o localizada e racional dos insumos, com resultados econ?micos, ambientais e sociais positivos. O estudo das t?cnicas amostrais de solo a partir do uso de novos sensores dispon?veis no mercado torna-se de fundamental import?ncia. Objetivou-se no presente trabalho, comparar mapas de recomenda??o de fertilizantes baseados em tr?s diferentes m?todos de amostragem do solo para avalia??o do componente econ?mico e ambiental. O experimento foi realizado em tr?s ?reas distintas nos munic?pios de Guarapuava e Cantagalo, ambos no estado do Paran?, sob sistema de plantio direto, com rota??o das culturas de soja, aveia, milho, trigo e cevada. Os m?todos amostrais utilizados foram: por zonas de manejo por altitude, malhas amostrais e amostragem orientada por condutividade el?trica (CEa). As amostras de solo para o m?todo zonas de manejo por altitude foram realizadas ap?s a defini??o das zonas. A amostragem em malha foi realizada na densidade de uma amostra por ha. A amostragem orientada foi realizada ap?s a defini??o das zonas de manejo por condutividade el?trica do solo, por meio do uso de sensor de aproxima??o do solo. A partir dos resultados das an?lises laboratoriais, foram confeccionados mapas de recomenda??o para aplica??o de Calc?rio, F?sforo, Pot?ssio e Nitrog?nio de forma a permitir a compara??o entre os m?todos, volumes, fatores ambientais e custos. Com a realiza??o deste estudo foi poss?vel avaliar a variabilidade espacial dos atributos do solo, comparando os volumes dos fertilizantes recomendados, estimar o custo econ?mico global da utiliza??o da tecnologia via sensor, bem como de todos os insumos, equipamentos e implementos utilizados. Sob o ponto de vista ambiental, foi poss?vel avaliar de maneira quantitativa e espacial o comportamento das aplica??es cada fertilizante por m?todo amostral. Tomando-se o m?todo de Malhas Amostrais como refer?ncia, o mesmo se apresentou como a alternativa mais vi?vel comparado com os demais m?todos, por?m, o uso dos sensores do solo tem se apresentado como tecnologias vi?veis que carecem de maior aperfei?oamento no sentido de propiciar produtividade, redu??o de custos e consequente ganho econ?mico e ambiental.

Inom 3D-grafik, visualiseringar, spel och VR finns ett behov av måttriktig modellering. Traditionellt så används CAD-program för att uppnå ett exakt eller precist resultat. Men då CAD-program inte utmatar polygonal geometri så fungerar det inte att använda resultatet direkt i tidigare nämnda kategorier. Denna studie ämnar att underlätta måttriktig polygonal modellering i Autodesk Maya genom ett tillägg i form av ett grafiskt användargränssnitt. Effektiviteten av detta mäts genom tidtagning på modellering av CAD-ritningar i polygoner hos en testgrupp både med och utan tillägget samt en kvalitetskontroll där resultatet jämförs med specifikationen. Medelresultatet av testgruppens användning av tillägget var en förbättring i tidsåtgång gentemot endast Maya. Geometrin hade även bättre måttriktighet.

Even with reuse, it is common that not all tests need to be executed again. Because of that, it is encouraged to use Regression Tests Selection (RTS) techniques, which aims to select from all tests, only those that reveal faults, this reduces costs and makes this an interesting practice for the testing teams. Several recent research works evaluate the quality of the selections performed by RTS techniques, identifying which one presents the best results, measured by metrics such as inclusion and precision. The RTS techniques should seek in the System Under Test (SUT) for tests that reveal faults. However, because this is a problem without a viable solution, they alternatively seek for tests that reveal changes, where faults may occur. Nevertheless, these changes may modify the execution flow of the algorithm itself, leading some tests no longer exercise the same stretch. In this context, this dissertation investigates whether changes performed in a SUT would affect the quality of the selection of tests performed by an RTS, if so, which features the changes present which cause errors, leading the RTS to include or exclude tests wrongly. For this purpose, a tool was developed using the Java language to automate the measurement of inclusion and precision averages achieved by a regression test selection technique for a particular feature of change. In order to validate this tool, an empirical study was conducted to evaluate the RTS technique Pythia, based on textual differencing, on a large web information system, analyzing the feature of types of tasks performed to evolve the SUT / O objetivo dos testes de regress?o (RT) ? reutilizar o conjunto de testes da ?ltima vers?o de um software em sua vers?o atual, para maximizar o valor dos testes j? desenvolvidos e garantir que antigas funcionalidades continuem corretas ap?s as novas modifica??es. Mesmo com o reuso, ? comum que nem todos os testes precisem ser executados novamente e para evitar o desnecess?rio, ? estimulada a utiliza??o de t?cnicas de sele??o dos testes de regress?o (RTS), que buscam selecionar dentre todos os testes, apenas aqueles capazes de revelar faltas, isto reduz custos e torna a pr?tica realmente atrativa para as equipes de teste. Diversos estudos recentes avaliam a qualidade da sele??o realizadas por t?cnicas de RTS, identificando qual delas apresenta melhores resultados atrav?s de m?tricas como a inclus?o e a precis?o. As t?cnicas de RTS deveriam buscar no sistema sob teste (SUT) por testes que revelem faltas, entretanto, como este ? um problema sem solu??o vi?vel, a alternativa ? buscar por testes que revelem as modifica??es, onde as faltas podem ocorrer. Contudo, tais modifica??es podem alterar o pr?prio fluxo de execu??o dos algoritmos, fazendo com que alguns testes n?o exercitem mais os mesmos trechos. Neste contexto, esta disserta??o de mestrado busca investigar se as modifica??es realizadas no SUT poderiam afetar a qualidade da sele??o dos testes realizada por uma RTS, e se sim, quais caracter?sticas apresentam as modifica??es que provocaram os erros, levando a RTS a incluir ou excluir testes erroneamente. Para tanto, foi desenvolvida uma ferramenta na linguagem Java para automatizar o c?lculo da inclus?o e precis?o m?dias alcan?adas por uma t?cnica de RTS para uma dada caracter?stica da modifica??o. A fim de validar a ferramenta, foi conduzido um estudo emp?rico para avaliar a t?cnica de RTS Pythia, baseada em diferencia??o textual, sobre um sistema de informa??o web de larga escala, analisando a caracter?stica dos tipos das tarefas realizadas para evoluir o SUT

Concentrations of these parameters measured in situ were compared in time quasi-synchronous with images AQUA-MODIS between the years 2003 to 2011. Determination coefficients between samples in situ and bands reflectance sensor AQUA-MODIS were representative. From that, concentrations of SSL parameters were acquired for the continental shelf of the RN (eastern and northern) analyzing the geographic distribution of variation of these parameters between the years 2009-2012. Geographical and seasonal variations mainly influenced by global climate phenomena such as El Ni?o and La Ni?a, were found through the analysis of AQUA-MODIS images by Principal Components Analysis (PCA). Images show qualitatively the variance and availability of TSM in the regions, as well as their relationship with coastal erosion hotspots, monitored along the coast of the RN. In one of the areas identified as being of limited availability of TSM, we developed a methodology for assessment and evaluation of Digital Elevation Models (DEM) of beach surfaces (emerged and submerged sections) from the integration of topographic and bathymetric data measured in situ and accurately georeferenced compatible to studies of geomorphology and coastal dynamics of short duration. The methodology consisted of surveys with GNSS positioning operated in cinematic relative mode involved in topographic and bathymetric executed in relation to the stations of the geodetic network of the study area, which provided geodetic link to the Brazilian Geodetic System (GBS), univocal , fixed, and relatively stable over time. In this study Ponta Negra Beach, Natal / RN, was identified as a region with low variance and availability of MPS in the region off, as characterized by intense human occupation and intense coastal erosion in recent decades, which presents potential of the proposed methodology for accuracy and productivity, and the progress achieved in relation to the classical methods of surveying beach profiles / Este trabalho apresenta modelos de par?metros da Camada Superficial do Mar (CSM), tais como: Clorofila-a, Temperatura da Superf?cie do Mar (TSM), Produtividade Prim?ria (PP) e Material Particulado em Suspen??o (MPS), para a regi?o adjacente a plataforma continental do Rio Grande do Norte (RN), Brasil. Concentra??es desses par?metros medidos in situ foram comparadas em tempo quase-s?ncronos com imagens AQUAMODIS entre os anos de 2003 at? 2011. Coeficientes de determina??o foram representativos entre as amostras in situ e as bandas de reflect?ncia do sensor AQUAMODIS. A partir disso, concentra??es de par?metros da CSM foram adquiridos para a plataforma continental do RN (Plataforma Oriental e Setentrional) analisando a distribui??o geogr?fica da varia??o desses par?metros entre os anos de 2009-2012. Varia??es geogr?ficas e sazonais influenciadas principalmente por fen?menos clim?ticos globais como o fen?meno El Ni?o e La Ni?a, foram constatadas atrav?s das an?lises das imagens AQUA-MODIS por an?lise de Principais Componentes (PC). As imagens apontam de maneira qualitativa a vari?ncia e disponibilidade do MPS nas regi?es, assim como sua rela??o com hotspots de eros?o costeira, monitorados ao longo do litoral do RN. Em uma das regi?es identificadas como sendo de pouca disponibilidade de MPS, foi desenvolvida uma metodologia para levantamento e avalia??o de Modelos Digitais de Eleva??o (MDE) de superf?cies praiais (setores emersos e submersos) a partir da integra??o de dados topogr?ficos e batim?tricos mensurados in situ e georreferenciados com precis?o compat?vel aos estudos de geomorfologia e din?mica costeira de curta dura??o. A metodologia desenvolvida consistiu de levantamentos com posicionamentos GNSS operados no modo relativo cinem?tico envolvidos nos levantamentos topogr?ficos e batim?tricos executados em rela??o ?s esta??es da rede geod?sica da ?rea de estudo, que forneceram referencial geod?sico vinculado ao Sistema Geod?sico Brasileiro (SGB), o qual ? un?voco, fixo e relativamente est?vel no tempo. No estudo foi apresentado a Praia de Ponta Negra, Natal/RN, identificada como uma regi?o com baixa vari?ncia e disponibilidade de MPS ao largo, assim como, caracterizada por intensa ocupa??o antr?pica e intensa eros?o costeira nas ?ltimas d?cadas, no qual s?o apresentadas as potencialidades da metodologia proposta, quanto ? acur?cia e produtividade, al?m dos avan?os alcan?ados em rela??o aos m?todos cl?ssicos de levantamento de perfis de praia
