Simulation of scalar transport in shallow waters using an unstructured grid model (in portuguese, only)
Published in RBRH - Brazilian Journal of Water Resources, 2013
This paper presents an application of the model to the Guaíba River, including the region of the Jacuí River delta with its intricate network of channels and islands. Two methods for solving the transport equation were tested: one based on a central difference numerical scheme and another based on a high-resolution scheme.
Towards the response of water balance to sugarcane expansion in the Rio Grande Basin, Brazil
Published in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2013
This study explores the short-, medium- and long-term impacts of expansion of the sugarcane plantation on the water balance of the Rio Grande Basin, Brazil, as estimated by changes in evapotranspiration, soil moisture content and surface runoff calculated by a hydrological model.
Effects of sugarcane expansion on runoff and evapotranspiration in the Rio Grande basin, Brazil
Published in VATTEN - Journal of Water Management and Research, 2013
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of sugarcane expansion on surface runoff and evapotranspiration in the Rio Grande basin, Brazil, as concerns have raised on the effects of the replacement of native vegetation and traditional crops to sugarcane plantations may have on local hydrology and climate.
Quantifying the radip sugarcane expansion for ethanol production in the Rio Grande basin, Brazil
Published in VATTEN - Journal of Water Management and Research, 2013
In this study, this sugarcane expansion was mapped for the River Grande basin in the northern São Paulo, considering the real extension of the plantation area in 1993, 2000, 2007 using Landsat satellite images.
Pairing multivariate data analysis and ecological modeling in the biomanipulated lake Engelsholm, Denmark
Published in VATTEN - Journal of Water Management and Research, 2013
In this study, we focused on identifying the most important patterns of monthly time series after biomanipulation. Moreover, we tried to quantify how those variables are interconnected with each other.
Assessment of numerical schemes for solving the advection-diffusion equation on unstructured grids: case study of the Guaíba River, Brazil
Published in Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2013
In this work, a first-order upwind and a high-order flux-limiter schemes for solving the advection-diffusion equation on unstructured grids were evaluated.
Implementation of a two-way coupled atmospheric-hydrological system for environmental modeling at regional scale
Published in Hydrology Research, 2014
This work describes the two-way coupling performed between the regional atmospheric model Brazilian Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (BRAMS) and the hydrological model MGB-IPH.
Technical note: A hydrological routing scheme for the Ecosystem Demography model (ED2+R) tested in the Tapajós River basin in the Brazilian Amazon
Published in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2017
In this technical note, we describe the integration of the Ecosystem Demography (ED2) model with a hydrological routing scheme.
Decoupling the effects of deforestation and climate variability in the Tapajós river basin in the Brazilian Amazon
Published in Hydrological Processes, 2018
This paper presents a study carried out in the Tapajós River (Brazil), a 477,000 km2 basin in South-eastern Amazonia, in which we analysed the role of annual land cover change on daily river flows.
Future Climate and Land Use Change Impacts on River Flows in the Tapajós Basin in the Brazilian Amazon
Published in Earth's Future, 2019
In this study, we used a land surface model integrated with a river routing scheme to analyze the hydrological alterations expected in the Tapajós River basin, a large portion of the Brazilian Amazon, caused by two environmental drivers: climate and land use.
Simulating Weather Events with a Linked Atmosphere-Hydrology Model
Published in Revista Brasileira de Meteorologia, 2020
In this work, we assessed the importance of a conceptual representation of hydrological processes when modelling atmospheric circulation.
Assessment of Drought Occurrence and Severity in the São Francisco River Basin between the years 1961 to 2019
Published in Revista de Geociências do Nordeste, 2023
This study evaluates drought impacts in the São Francisco River Basin from 1961 to 2019, utilizing the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) based on INMET pluviometric data, revealing contrasting short-term drought occurrences between Upper and Lower São Francisco, with prolonged droughts observed in the Sub-Medium and Middle São Francisco regions, supported by Cluster Analysis demonstrating similarities in drought variables across different basin regions.
Assessment of Precipitation Deficit in the São Francisco River Basin From 1998 to 2018
Published in Revista Brasileira de Meteorologia, 2023
This study assesses precipitation deficits in the São Francisco River Basin using two decades of satellite-derived data, revealing longer and drier periods in 2008-2018, with the strongest deficit observed in summer and particularly impacting the upper part of the basin.
