Multi-layered water resources, management, and uses under the impacts of global changes in a southern coastal metropolis: when will it be already too late? crossed analysis in Recife, NE Brazil.
Coastal water resources are a worldwide key socio-environmental issue considering the increasing concentration of population in these areas. Here, we propose an integrative transdisciplinary approach of water resource, water management and water access in Recife (NE Brazil). The present-day water si...- por Portal Padrão

Climate change projections over three metropolitan regions in Southeast Brazil using the non-hydrostatic Eta regional climate model at 5-km resolution.
The objective of this work is to assess changes in three metropolitan regions of Southeast Brazil (Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Santos) based on the projections produced by the Eta Regional Climate Model (RCM) at very high spatial resolution, 5 km. The region, which is densely populated and extre...- por Portal Padrão

Analysis of intra-day solar irradiance variability in different Brazilian climate zones.
One of the main barriers to increasing the solar energy share is its intermittency. Solar energys large variability in different timescales is driven by natural solar astronomical cycles and weather. Ground-based measurements are important for evaluating variability at high temporal resolutions, but...- por Portal Padrão

Comparison of methodologies for cloud cover estimation in Brazil: a case study.
Clouds are the major modulator of the shortwave and longwave radiation components of the Earth's energy balance and, as such, help to regulate the planet's temperature. In the energy sector, clouds are a source of instability in the generation of energy using solar technologies. This study aims at c...- por Portal Padrão
