Analyzing extreme events and determining their impacts in terms of coastal flooding are crucial for understanding preventing potential risks caused by such hazards. These include damage to infrastructure the built environment on population. Identifying key components total water level (TWL) reaching coast treating them properly model flood propagation over land is a challenge whose complexity increases as spatial scale increases. Although TWL calculation modeling at large scales have been...
A detailed climatology of ocean wind waves in the South Atlantic Ocean, based on ERA-5 reanalysis and a higher-resolution wave hindcast (ERA-5H), both developed by European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, is presented. The higher resolution fields ERA-5H (22 km) allowed better description sea swell features compared to previous global regional studies along Brazilian coast. Overall, it shown that are more prevalent carry energy offshore area study area, while dominate nearshore...
Fogs are meteorological events in which water vapor condensation the atmosphere results a horizontal visibility inferior to 1000 m, making air, sea and land traffic difficult. classified according their formation processes require presence of specific initial conditions, such as elevated humidity, thermal inversion atmospheric stability. In general, when temperature dew point equal, there is fog formation. This can occur due either cooling or increase humidity. The objective this study...
