Abstract The origin of modern disjunct plant distributions in the Brazilian Highlands with strong floristic affinities to distant montane rainforests isolated mountaintops northeast and northern Amazonia Guyana Shield remains unknown. We tested hypothesis that these unexplained biogeographical patterns reflect former ecosystem rearrangements sustained by widespread migrations possibly due climatic are very dissimilar from present-day conditions. To address this issue, we mapped presence...
The Metropolitan Area of São Paulo (MASP) is one the most populated regions planet with largest impervious as well. This research work aims to characterize MASP heat island (HI) effect and its interaction local sea breeze (SB) inflow in rainfall amounts deep convection. combined SB-HI produces direct circulation over severe weather socioeconomic impacts. All episodes between 2005 2008 are identified analyzed surface upper air measurements, radar, satellite data. current indicates that...
Abstract Debris flows represent great hazard to humans due their high destructive power. Understanding hydrogeomorphic dynamics is fundamental in assessment studies, especially subtropical and tropical regions where debris have scarcely been studied when compared other mass-wasting processes. Thus, this study aims at systematically analyzing the meteorological geomorphological factors that characterize a landslide-triggered flow Pedra Branca catchment (Serra do Mar, Brazil), quantify flow’s...
Extreme rainfall events cause diverse loss of life and economic losses. These disasters include flooding, landslides, erosion. For these intense events, one can statistically estimate the time when a given volume will occur. Initially, this work estimated volumes for mountainous region Rio de Janeiro, frequency with which this, we analyzed daily precipitation data using ANOBES method Gumbel statistical distribution to return times. prec’ipitation up 240 mm per day were identified in some...
Accurate daily rainfall estimation is required in several applications such as hydrology, hydrometeorology, water resources management, geomorphology, civil protection, and agriculture, among others. CMORPH estimations were integrated with rain gauge measurements Brazil between 2000 2015, order to reduce errors by means of the statistical objective analysis scheme (SOAS). Early comparisons indicated high discrepancies respective areal accumulation estimates that tended be reduced time span...
The Tokyo Metropolitan Area Convection Study (TOMACS) for extreme-weather-resilient cities is a research and development project (RDP) of the World Weather Research Programme (WWRP). TOMACS provided multiplatform high spatiotemporal resolution dataset present on three episodes deep convection in (TMA) under its heat island effect sea breeze circulations. Heavy rainfall August 26, 2011, July 23 12, 2013, were simulated with (and without) tropical town energy budget (T-TEB) model coupled...
An integrated satellite precipitation estimation dataset, namely, the Climate Prediction Center morphing method (CMORPH), was used to analyze regimes across Equatorial Africa between 3°S - 1°N and 24°E 42°E from 2000 2014. This region includes Rift Valley, part of Congo Forest, Lake Victoria (LV) basin, second largest lake in area world. Hovmöller diagrams were obtained for all organized convective systems estimate their spans, duration, phase speeds. The analysis included 33,189 episodes...

This study consists of hydrological simulations the Muriaé river watershed with topography-based model (TOPMODEL) and available stream gauge rain measurements between 2009 2013 for two subbasins, namely Carangola Patrocínio do Muriaé. The were carried out Climate Prediction Center morphing method (CMORPH) precipitation estimates integrated into CM- ORPH by Statistical Objective Analysis Scheme (SOAS). TOPMODEL calibration was performed shuffled complex evolution (SCE-UA) Nash-Sutcliffe...

This work presents the climatology of microphysics and dynamics weather systems in two coastal areas São Paulo Espírito States at high spatial-temporal resolution as measured by dual Doppler radars during summer early fall 2015. Averages respective standard deviations polarimetric variables, namely, reflectivity (Z), differential (ZDR), phase (ϕDP), specific (KDP), copolar correlation coefficient (ρoHV), radial velocity (Vr), spectral width (W) were obtained within a 240-km range on plan...
