The effect of the tropical southern Atlantic index in the monthly number of thunderstorm days in Rio de Janeiro from 1951 to 2009.
The goal of this study was to investigate if the variability of the annual number of thunderstorm days (TD) of Rio de Janeiro from 1951 to 2009 is related to any large scale weather phenomena. Wavelet, cross-wavelet and wavelet coherence analyses, as well as associated statistical significance tests...

Thunderstorm days in the southeast Brazil since the Nineteenth Century.
Thunderstorms are known to have a significant impact on society in terms of fatalities and financial losses, making the possibility to predict the response of thunderstorm activity to global warming one of the main goals of current research. However, predicting changes in thunderstorm activity is a ...

Thunderstorm forecast to support power electric operation management.
Thunderstorms cause a significant number of faults in energy distribution systems. The possibility to forecast the thunderstorm frequency in the summer period with a reasonable anticipation (a few months) would be of great importance to support preventive actions for protection and recomposition of ...

The new brazilian lightning detection network: first results.
A new lightning detection network using WeatherBug Total Lightning Sensors (WTLS) is being deployed in Brazil. The network can acquire detailed signals emitted from both IC and CG flashes and continuously sends information to a central server. A WTLS is composed of an antenna, a global positioning s...

Estimação do fluxo do gás carbônico entre o solo e a atmosfera.
Recentemente, há um aumento de CO2 na atmosfera, decorrente do uso de combustíveis fósseis (carvão, petróleo, gás natural) em termelétricas, indústrias, automóveis e também da devastação e queima de florestas contribuindo para o aquecimento global. O objetivo do presente trabalho é esti...

Cloud-to-ground lightning characteristics in southern and southeastern Brazil: spatial analysis.
After the integration of three regional lightning detection networks (SIDDEM and RINDAT) in June 2005, the Brazilian lightning detection network (BrasilDAT) covered almost 50% of Brazil except to the Amazon basin and the Northeastern Brazil. For the last 6 years (2005-2010), the BrasilDAT network ha...
