Resumo O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar a variabilidade espaço-temporal do NDVI, da temperatura da superfície terrestre (TST) e da precipitação pluvial (PCP) em regiões de Caatinga degradada (CD) e em recuperação (CR) no Estado da Paraíba, e preservada (CP) no Estado do Rio Grande do Norte. Foram aplicadas técnicas de sensoriamento remoto (SR) do sensor MODIS/Terra com utilização de testes não-paramétricos e...
Abstract The type of land use and land cover plays a decisive role in land surface temperature (LST). As cities are composed of varied covers, including vegetation, built-up areas, buildings, roads and areas without vegetation, understanding LST patterns in complex urban spaces is becoming increasingly important. The present study investigated the relationship between LST and albedo, NDVI, NDWI, NDBI and NDBaI ...
Abstract This work aimed to select semivariogram models to estimate trends in monthly precipitation in Paraiba State-Brazil using ordinary kriging. The methodology involves the application of geostatistical interpolation of precipitation records of 51 years from 69 rainfall stations across the state. Analysis of semivariograms showed that specific months had a strong spatial dependence (Index of Spatial Depende...
ABSTRACT The Mossoró-Assu-Baraúna district, Rio Grande do Norte State (RN), is recognized by the intense production of horticulture, mainly muskmelon for export. However, this region is often devastated by intense droughts. Thus, the muskmelon production is predominantly under irrigated condition and, due to constant threat of water resources collapse on the region, a rigorous irrigation water management in the...
Abstract The formation of artificial lake due construction of a hydroelectric plant causes irreversible environmental impacts. Studies associated with these artificial lakes for the Brazilian semiarid region are still insufficient. Thus, the objective of this study is to provide new information on the trends of climatic extremes, dependent on rainfall and air temperature, for the Sobradinho Hydroelectric Power ...
Resumo Este estudo avaliou as mudanças ocorridas no NEB por meio da análise espaço-temporal do albedo, NDVI e Ts obtidas com base no sensor MODIS no período de 2002 a 2011. Os dados obtidos por sensoriamento remoto foram associados a dados de precipitação obtidos por técnicas de reanálise para avaliação das áreas de interesse e seus respectivos pontos de amostras selecionados. O albedo apresentou mais de 75% de...
Abstract The present study aimed to analyze trends in air temperature and rainfall for 13 locations in the state of Pará using nonparametric tests. Daily data of maximum and minimum air temperatures and precipitation covering the period 1970-2006, collected by the Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia (INMET) have been used. From the results obtained it was observed that the number of warm days and nights per year...
Abstract Data from field experiments conducted in table grape vineyards variety of Festival in Petrolina-PE in the period from September 19 to October 12, 2010 were used to evaluate the influence of plastic cover on microclimate conditions of vineyards in São Francisco River Valley region. Three treatments were studied: canopies without plastic cover (WC); with plastic cover positioned at 50 cm (PC50), and at 1...
Resumo Este estudo apresenta uma metodologia simplificada e ajustada a partir de algoritmos existentes a dados de sensores orbitais disponíveis para a região Nordeste do Brasil (NEB) com o intuito de operacionalizar a determinação espacial da evapotranspiração (ET) apenas com dados de sensoriamento remoto, utilizando dados MODIS/Terra do período de 2002 a 2011. Os resultados obtidos para diversos alvos espalhad...
Resumo Estima-se que aproximadamente 30% das doenças infantis possam ser atribuídas a fatores ambientais e 40% acometem crianças com idade inferior a cinco anos, representando cerca de 10% da população mundial. Esta pesquisa objetivou analisar a relação das variáveis climáticas na prevalência de infecção respiratória aguda (IRA) em crianças menores de dois anos em Rondonópolis-MT, de 1999 a 2014. Usou-se um est...
