An integrated framework to analyze local decision making and adaptation to sea level rise in coastal regions in Selsey (UK), Broward County (USA), and Santos (Brazil)
One of the clear signals of the ongoing climate change is sea level rise (SLR). Normal oceanic tides superimposed on a rising sea level and coastal flooding will affect many coastal communities. An international collaboration among Brazil, the United Kingdom, and the United States was designed to ev...

Kinetic energy generation in heat engines and heat pumps: the relationship between surface pressure, temperature and circulation cell size.
The pattern and size of the Earths atmospheric circulation cells determine regional climates and challenge theorists. Here the authors present a theoretical framework that relates the size of meridional cells to the kinetic energy generation within them. Circulation cells are considered as heat engi...

Quantifying the global atmospheric power budget.
The power of atmospheric circulation is a key measure of the Earths climate system. The mismatch between predictions and observations under a warming climate calls for a reassessment of how atmospheric power W is defined, estimated and constrained. Here we review published formulations for W and sho...

The equations of motion for moist atmospheric air.
How phase transitions affect the motion of moist atmospheric air remains controversial. In the early 2000s two distinct differential equations of motion were proposed. Besides their contrasting formulations for the acceleration of condensate, the equations differ concerning the presence/absence of a...

Agent-based model implemented using the TerraME framework to simulate the dynamic transmission of dengue fever.
The aim of this paper is using TerraME framework to develop a model that contributes in understanding the spatiotemporal behaviour of dengue transmission and the strength of control strategies. During the implementation of our model, it was necessary to adopt rules and input parameters, which repres...

On the opposite relation between extreme precipitation over west Amazon and southeastern Brazil: observations and model simulations.
During the austral summer of 2014 and 2015, a severe drought occurred in southeastern Brazil at the same time when flooding conditions were registered in the state of Acre in the western Amazonia of Brazil. This study aimed the identification of the atmospheric and oceanic large-scale characteristic...
