Accurate and complete global solar radiation ( H s ) data at a specific region are crucial for regional climate assessment, crop growth modeling, all operations that use energy. However, in the Minas Gerais state, Southeastern Brazil (SEB), number of weather stations measure is scarce, when it available, presents gaps time series. An attractive alternative to solve gap problem estimate using empirical models. In this study, thirteen models based on maximum minimum air temperatures,...
A temperatura do planeta vem apresentando aumento desde o início da revolução industrial, conforme documentado nos relatórios Painel Intergovernamental sobre Mudanças Climáticas (IPCC). Isso afeta os diferentes componentes sistema climático, que, por sua vez, influenciam clima (mecanismo de retroalimentação). Portanto, para a compreensão dos processos físicos associados às mudanças climáticas é necessário um conhecimento básico que foco deste estudo. Apresentam-se aqui conhecimentos...
Abstract A large part of Brazil is highly vulnerable to climate changes projected for the end 21st century. Analyzing these vulnerabilities particularly important agriculture, since country one largest agricultural commodity producers in world. Changes reference evapotranspiration ( ET o ) can impact crops and make cultivation unfeasible. However, studies on patterns under change scenarios have been restricted regional scales use too few models or simplified water balance their analysis....
