Abstract. We present a new version of the Brazilian developments on Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (BRAMS), in which different previous versions for weather, chemistry, and carbon cycle were unified single integrated modeling system software. This also has set state-of-the-art physical parameterizations greater computational parallel memory usage efficiency. The description main model features includes several examples illustrating quality transport scheme scalars, radiative fluxes...
In the last decades, numerous large forest fires have been recorded in Portugal. On 15 and 16 October 2017, seven extreme wildfires events (EWEs) took place central region of Aiming to contribute assessment smoke impact these EWEs, this study estimates their atmospheric emissions using a bottom-up approach with high spatial temporal resolution. To end, fire data were used, such as ignition location time, propagation, burned area, fuel load emission factors according species. A particular –...
Abstract. We present a new version of the Brazilian developments on Regional Atmospheric Modeling System where different previous versions for weather, chemistry and carbon cycle were unified in single integrated software system.

Together with description main features are examples quality transport scheme scalars, radiative fluxes surface model simulation rainfall systems...
Climate change is expected to influence urban living conditions, challenging cities adopt mitigation and adaptation measures. This paper assesses climate projections for different areas in Europe –Eindhoven (The Netherlands), Genova (Italy) Tampere (Finland)—and discusses how nature-based solutions (NBS) can help these cities. The Weather Research Forecasting Model was used simulate the of recent past medium-term future, considering RCP4.5 scenario, using nesting capabilities high spatial...
Wildfire ignitions are often linked to environmental and climatic factors, but human behavior plays a critical role, particularly in rural southern Europe. However, tools quantify the probability of human-caused lacking. This study addresses this by developing wildfire ignition index focused on mainland Portugal, region historically vulnerable wildfires. Statistical analyses, including multicollinearity checks Generalized Linear Model, were used analyze data, while geospatial analyses...
The frequency of extreme wildfire events (EWEs) is expected to increase due climate change, leading higher levels atmospheric pollutants being released into the air, which could cause significant short-term impacts on human health (both for population and firefighters) visibility. This study aims gain a better understanding effects EWEs’ smoke air quality, its health, how it reduces visibility by applying modelling system Portuguese EWEs October 2017. Weather Research Forecasting Model was...
Climate change threatens established agricultural systems and production, driving the need for adaptation mitigation strategies. Vitiforestry, an alternative cultivation system combining trees shrubs in vineyard, promotes environmental sustainability offers a possible strategy to climate change. This work scrutinizes impact of shading on vineyards using Integrated Model Vineyard Shading Adaptation (IMVSCA), supported by dynamics approach. model estimates solar radiation computes daily annual...
Resumo O BRAMS-SFIRE é um novo sistema de modelação atmosférica com componente propagação fogo desenvolvido no Centro Previsão Tempo e Estudos Climáticos (CPTEC / INPE) Brasil em colaboração o Instituto Mediterrâneo Agricultura, Ambiente Desenvolvimento (MED) Portugal. presente artigo descreve a incorporação do modelo Brazilian developments on the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (BRAMS). Os principais objetivos foram desenvolver acoplamento entre atmosférico que simulasse os efeitos da...

On other hand, climate change threatens established agricultural systems production motivates development adaptation mitigation measures. This study aimed to test vitiforestry (the plantation trees in vineyards) as an strategy ongoing changes Mediterranean-type climates. A grapevine ecophysiological meteorological model (GEMM) was developed tested...
