Spectral impact on PV in low-latitude sites: The case of southeastern Brazil.
The spectral impact on various PV materials eamorphous silicon (a-Si), CdTe, CIGS, single crystalline silicon (sc-Si) and multi crystalline (mc-Si)e in two nearby cities of Southeastern Brazil is presented. For every PV technology studied, the values of the spectral mismatch factor on instantaneous,...

Co-designing global target-seeking scenarios: a cross-scale participatory process for capturing multiple perspectives on pathways to sustainability.
The United Nations 2030 Agenda catalysed the development of global target-seeking sustainability-oriented scenarios representing alternative pathways to reach the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Implementing the SDGs requires connected actions across local, national, regional, and global level...

Lightning changes in response to global warming in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Physical concepts based on the Clausius-Clapeyron relation and on the thermodynamics and aerosol characteristics associated with updrafts, global climate models assuming different parametrizations and lightning-related output variables, and lightning-related data (thunderstorm days) are being used t...

Looking to future perceptions about climate change in Brazil: what children’s teachers think, learn and teach about?
The social and human sciences have had a minor role in the studies of climate change. There remains a signifcant gap in our knowledge and understanding of the many facets of this theme. The educational sector has been neglected in the climate change scientifc debate, although it is acknowledged as a...

How to prioritize areas for new ant surveys? Integrating historical data on species occurrence records and habitat loss.
Habitat loss is a leading cause of extinctions, which may occur even before species are recorded or formally described. On the other hand, limitations in species distribution data and sampling biases can hamper inferences about patterns of species richness that form the basis of conservation strateg...

Determination of region of influence obtained by aircraft vertical profiles using the density of trajectories from the hysplit model
Aircraft atmospheric profiling is a valuable technique for determining greenhouse gas fluxes at regional scales (104106 km2 ). Here, we describe a new, simple method for estimating the surface influence of air samples that uses backward trajectories based on the Lagrangian model Hybrid Single-Partic...

CO(2) emissions from forest degradation in Brazilian Amazon.
Forest degradation is widespread around the world, due to multiple factors such as unsustainable logging, agriculture, invasive species, fire, fuelwood gathering, and livestock grazing. In the Brazilian Amazon forest degradation from August 2006 to July 2016 reached 1,1 869 800 ha. The processes of ...

Enhancement of Cloudless Skies Frequency over a Large Tropical Reservoir in Brazil.
Several studies show the effects of lake breezes on cloudiness over natural lakes and large rivers, but only few contain information regarding large flooded areas of hydroelectric dams. Most Brazilian hydropower plants have large water reservoirs that may induce significant changes in the local envi...
