Convectively coupled equatorial-wave diagnosis using three-dimensional normal m...
Castanheira, José M.; Marques, Carlos A. F.A new methodology for the diagnosis of convectively coupled equatorial waves (CCEWs) is presented. It is based on a pre-filtering of the geopotential and horizontal wind, using three-dimensional (3D) normal mode functions of the adiabatic linearized equations of a resting atmosphere, followed by a space–time spectral analysis to identify the spectral regions of coherence. Themethodology permits a direct detecti...
Unraveling the interactive effects of climate change and oil contamination on l...
Coelho, Francisco J. R. C.; Cleary, Daniel F. R.; Rocha, Rui J. M.; Calado, Ricardo; Castanheira, José M.; Rocha, Sílvia M.; Silva, Artur M. S.There is growing concern that modifications to the global environment such as ocean acidification and increased ultraviolet radiation may interact with anthropogenic pollutants to adversely affect the future marine environment. Despite this, little is known about the nature of the potential risks posed by such interactions. Here, we performed a multifactorial microcosm experiment to assess the impact of ocean a...

Coelho, Francisco J. R. C.; Rocha, Rui J. M.; Pires, Ana C. C.; Ladeiro, Bruno; Castanheira, José M.; Costa, Rodrigo; Almeida, Adelaide; Cunha, ÂngelaAn experimental life support system (ELSS) was constructed to study the interactive effects of multiple stressors on coastal and estuarine benthic communities, specifically perturbations driven by global climate change and anthropogenic environmental contamination. The ELSS allows researchers to control salinity, pH, temperature, ultraviolet radiation (UVR), tidal rhythms and exposure to selected contaminants. ...
