Electric systems failures produced by CG lightning in Eastern Amazonia
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-12) SANTOS, Ana Paula Paes dos; SOUZA, José Ricardo Santos de; SOUZA, Everaldo Barreiros de; CARMO, Alexandre Melo Casseb do; RIBEIRO, Wanda Maria do Nascimento
Operational records of power outages of the electric energy distribution systems in eastern Amazonia presented a large number of events attributed to lightning strikes, during the 2006 to 2009 period. The regional electricity concessionary data were compared to actual lightning observations made by SIPAM’s LDN system, over two areas where operational sub systems of transmission lines are installed. Statistical relations were drawn between the monthly lightning occurrence density and the number of power outages of the electric systems for both areas studied. The results showed that, although with some delays between these variables peaks, the number of power disruptions has a tendency to follow the behavior of the lightning occurrence densities variations. The numerical correlations were positive and may be useful to the transmission lines maintenance crews at least for the Belém-Castanhal electricity distribution sub system. Evidence was found, that the SST’s over certain areas of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, influence convection over the area of interest, and may help to prognosticate the periods of intense electric storms, requiring repair readiness for the regional electric systems.

Precipitação sazonal sobre a Amazônia oriental no período chuvoso: observações e simulações regionais com o RegCM3
(2009-06) SOUZA, Everaldo Barreiros de; LOPES, Marcio Nirlando Gomes; ROCHA, Edson José Paulino da; SOUZA, José Ricardo Santos de; CUNHA, Alan Cavalcanti da; SILVA, Renato Ramos da; FERREIRA, Douglas Batista da Silva; SANTOS, Daniel Meninéa; CARMO, Alexandre Melo Casseb do; SOUSA, José Raimundo Abreu de; GUIMARÃES, Paulo Lima; MOTA, Maria Aurora Santos da; MAKINO, Midori; SENNA, Renato Cruz; SOUSA, Adriano Marlisom Leão de; MOTA, Galdino Viana; KUHN, Paulo Afonso Fischer; SOUZA, Paulo Fernando de Souza; VITORINO, Maria Isabel
This paper presents a contribution on the climate modelling studies with emphasis on seasonal rainfall variability in eastern Amazonia, during the austral summer and autumn seasons (DJF and MAM). Based on RegCM3 regional climate simulations for a 26 years period (1982/83 to 2007/08) using high resolution domain scale (30 km) and two different convection schemes (Grell and MIT), it was investigated the model performance to simulate the regional pluviometric distribution in eastern Amazon, with reference to a new observational data base containing regional aspects extracted from a dense rain gauge station network. The quantitative analysis showed that RegCM3 presents systematic errors, especially those related to the dry bias in the Amapá and north/northeast of Pará using both schemes Grell and MIT, which indicate that the model does not reproduce ITCZ characteristics over equatorial Atlantic. The simulations using MIT also indicated wet bias in the southwest/south/southeast of Pará and north of Tocantins. Moreover, through composites technique, it was also investigated RegCM3 response to reproduce the anomalous spatial rainfall patterns in association with ENSO episodes and interhemispheric SSTa gradient phases across the intertropical Atlantic. The results showed that the model represented realistically well the spatial pattern related to the rainfall anomalies above (below) than normal in most of eastern Amazonia, during the known favourable scenarios, i.e., La Niña and south Atlantic SSTa gradient (unfavourable, i.e., El Niño and north Atlantic SSTa gradient).

Variação sazonal da população de bactérias e fungos e dos teores de nitrato e amônio do solo nos sítios do LBA e PPBIO, na amazônia oriental
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-09) MOURA, Quêzia Leandro de; RUIVO, Maria de Lourdes Pinheiro; RODRIGUES, Hernani José Brazão; ROCHA, Edson José Paulino da; SILVA JUNIOR, João de Athaydes; VASCONCELOS, Steel Silva; ANDRADE, Mariseth Carvalho de; MANES, Carmem Lara de Oliveira
It is possible that the environmental factors determining the behavior of soil microbiota are being modified by anthropic or natural climate change. In order to check the effect of the exclusion of water over the population of bacteria and fungi in the soil, the present study was developed. The chosen location is the area of the ESECAFLOR experiment, which simulates the occurrence of extreme phenomena such as El Niño event, and the area of biodiversity research program Program-PPBio (primary forest). This later area, supposed to be used for studying the Biodiversity of the Amazon, was used as a control area for comparative purposes. The soil was sampled at 00 - 05, 05 -10, 10-20 and 20-30 cm depths, during the rainy, transition and less rainy seasons. The highest values of Colonies Forming Units (CFU) for bacteria and fungi populations were 196 x 104 CFU/g of soil and 124 x 102 CFU/g of solo, respectively, both in the area without human intervention (PPBio). Soil moisture is the variable influencing most the obtained counting values of fungi and bacteria populations.
