Habitat selection and movements of Taiga Bean Geese Anser fabalis fabalis during spring and early summerVahlström, Isak January 2017 (has links)
Habitats vary in terms of food and predation risk between each other and over time. The aim of this study was to describe the daily cycle of habitat selection and movements of Taiga Bean Geese Anser fabalis fabalis during spring and early summer. For that I used data from 11 Taiga Bean Geese marked with GPS-transmitters in Vilhelmina county, Sweden. I coded every position to a habitat and calculated length of movements between the positions. In most cases the geese spent the night at wetlands and agricultural fields, probably feeding, and the day close to lakes and streams, probably resting. The geese moved between those habitats in the morning and in the evening. These movements between habitats are more likely due to change in predation pressure than resource depletion of the first habitat.

O Ciclo diÃrio de precipitaÃÃes pluviais no municÃpio de Fortaleza, em intervalos de cinco minutos / The Daily cycle of rainfall in the city of Fortaleza, in five-minute intervalsFrancisco Edson Pinheiro Pessoa 23 April 2015 (has links)
A pesquisa trata da distribuiÃÃo infradiÃria de precipitaÃÃes intensas no MunicÃpio de Fortaleza, Estado do CearÃ. Foram utilizados 30 anos de observaÃÃes pluviogrÃficas, digitalizadas, da estaÃÃo climatolÃgica da Universidade Federal do Cearà no Campus do Pici. Os estudos foram realizados com uma Ãnica sÃrie, com todos os valores para determinar o regime anual. Posteriormente, foram utilizadas as 12 sÃries mensais, cobrindo o perÃodo de 30 anos, para estudar a sazonalidade. Os dados anuais foram ajustados a curvas senoidais e a polinÃmios do terceiro grau, forÃados para manter a continuidade, denominados polinÃmios cÃclicos. Observou-se que o horÃrio de mÃxima pluviosidade ocorre no inÃcio do dia e o mÃnimo ocorre no inÃcio da noite, Estudou-se tambÃm, nas sÃries mensais, o tamanho do intervalo de tempo entre o mÃximo e o mÃnimo de pluviosidade. Esse intervalo de tempo foi correlacionado com a duraÃÃo do dia de insolaÃÃo. Conclui-se que hà uma forte correlaÃÃo entre a duraÃÃo do dia de insolaÃÃo e o intervalo de tempo entre o pico de mÃxima e de mÃnima pluviosidade. / The research deals with the daily distribution of intense rainfall in the city of
Fortaleza, CearÃ. Were used 30 years of pluvi
ograph observations of the
climatological station of the Federal University of CearÃ, in Campus do Pici. The
studies were conducted with a single series, with all the values
to determine an
annual basis. Later, were used 12 monthly series, covering the p
eriod from 30 years,
to study the seasonality. Annual data were adjusted to sinusoidal curves and
polynomials of the third degree, forced to maintain continuity, called cyclic
polynomials. It was observed that the maximum rainfall occurs in the early hours
of
the day and the minimum rainfall occurs in the early evening. It was also studied in
the monthly series the time interval size between the maximum and the minimum
rainfall. This time interval was correlated with the duration of insolation. It
concludes
that there is a strong correlation between duration of insolation and the
time interval between the maximum and the minimum rainfall

Previous issue date: 2015-03-05 / CNPq / Este trabalho teve como objetivo estudar o efeito da remoção de umidade da camada
limite planetária por cúmulos rasos. Para tal, esse efeito foi inserido no código do modelo BRAMS. Foram realizados dois experimentos: no primeiro experimento de controle (EXP_ORI), o modelo foi inicializado em sua forma original e no segundo (EXP_AJUST), o modelo foi integrado para as mesmas condições que o EXP_ORI, porém com o devido ajuste realizado no código do BRAMS. O modelo foi integrado para um período de 774 horas a partir da 00 UTC do dia 1° de janeiro até a 00 UTC do dia 1° de fevereiro de 2011. Para facilitar a análise quanto ao impacto desse ajuste no ciclo diário médio das variáveis termodinâmicas de superfície e da precipitação convectiva, foram feitas médias em duas áreas distintas de 1°x1°, uma área sobre superfície florestada (localizada no sul do Amazonas) e outra área sobre superfície desflorestada (localizada no norte da Bolívia). De forma geral, os resultados mostraram que houve diferenças notáveis no perfil termodinâmico da troposfera
inferior devido à implementação do novo ajuste. As taxas de aquecimento e umedecimento, em ambas as áreas, tiveram picos as 09 e 09:30 horas local, embora o seu efeito líquido tenha se mostrado nas horas seguintes, o principal impacto ocorreu no início da tarde. O ciclo diário dos fluxos à superfície também foram sensíveis ao ajuste realizado no modelo. Já o comportamento e a quantidade da precipitação convectiva acumulada ao longo do dia foram melhorados no EXP_AJUST, principalmente na área desflorestada. / The objective of this work was to the effects of moisture removal from the planetary
boundary layer by shallow cumulus. To reach this goal, this effect was implemented into the BRAMS model code. Two experiments were performed: in the control experiment (EXP_ORI), the model was initialized in its original form and in the second one (EXP_AJUST) the model was run to the same conditions as the EXP_ORI but with due adjustment made in BRAMS code. The model was run for a period of 774 hours, from 00 UTC of 1 January to 00 UTC of 1 February 2011. To facilitate the analysis of the impact of this adjustment on the mean daily cycle of thermodynamic variables of surface and convective precipitation, averages were performed in two different areas of 1° x 1°, an area of forested area (located in the south of the Amazon) and other deforested area on surface (located in northern Bolivia). Overall, the results showed that there were important differences in the
thermodynamic profile of the lower troposphere due to the implementation of new setting in the BRAMS code. Values of moistening and heating rates in both areas peaked around 09 and 09:30 local time, although their net effect were felt later, the impact occurred mainly early afternoon. The daily cycle of surface fluxes were also sensitive to the adjustment performed in the model. Also the behavior and the amount of convective precipitation accumulated during the day in EXP_AJUST were improved, especially in deforested area.
