Avaliação de características dos regimes de umidade na flona de Caxiuanã-PA durante o experimento COBRA-PARÁ
(2010-03) TANAKA, Ludmila Monteiro da Silva; SÁ, Leonardo Deane de Abreu; MOTA, Maria Aurora Santos da
We investigate the validity of a method of humidity regimes classification, based on different "states" characterization of the Tropical Atmospheric Boundary Layer (TABL), above a forest area, according to the methodology proposed by Mahrt (1991). To perform this investigation we used radiosonde information and micrometeorological tower data collected during the drier season of the region, during the experiment "COBRA-PARÁ" (carried out from 30/10 to 15/11, 2006). The analysis of moisture regimes is based on the "phase space" data representation, where the Bowen ratio (β) is plotted against the -h/L parameter (where h is the height of the turbulent mixing layer and L is the Obukhov length scale). According to the location of the data value in this "phase space" it was possible to identify the following classes: Class I - dry air and unstable conditions, Class II - dry wind, Class III - wet wind, Class IV - wet air and unstable conditions, Class V - occurrence of water condensation on the surface, Class VI - stable conditions predominance and Class VII - dew formation generated by nocturnal radiative losses with surface cooling. Among the mentioned classes, the III, IV and VI were the most frequently observed at Caxiuanã.

Trocas turbulentas noturnas de CO2 entre a floresta de Uatumã, Amazonas, e a atmosfera
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-07-04) MAFRA, Ana Carolina Batista; SÁ, Leonardo Deane de Abreu; lattes.cnpq.br/0107976161469463; ARAÚJO, Alessandro Carioca de; lattes.cnpq.br/6188087583954899
We study the nocturnal boundary layer - NBL above an area of primary tropical forest northeast of the state of Amazonas, the Sustainable Development Reserve of Uatumã, distant 15 km of the Uatumã River, located about 380 km northeast of the city of Manaus, Amazonas. It is intended to determine some of the characteristics of the NBL, particularly nocturnal turbulence regimes by identifying the differences related to vertical exchanges of CO2, according to the methodology proposed by Sun et al. (2012). Fast response data will be used for the atmospheric scalar and vector quantities, as CO2 concentration and wind speed, respectively. The methodology allows characterization of NBL in three regimes of dynamic stability: 1) weak turbulence, mean low wind speed; 2) strong turbulence, with high wind speed, and 3) intermittent turbulence events with "top -down ". From this characterization, we have investigated some of the main statistical characteristics of each turbulent regime. As would be expected, the turbulent fluxes of CO2 increases with the characteristic scale of turbulent velocity, VTKE, associated with turbulent kinetic energy measured above the forest canopy. The CO2 exchange increases considerably with the regime 2,with higher values of the mean wind speed, | V |, and with the occurrence of strong mixing in the atmospheric boundary layer, ABL, not predominantly generated by surface forcings .
