Climatology and numerical case study of moisture sources associated with subtropical cyclogenesis over the southwestern Atlantic Ocean
(Amer Geophysical Union, 2017-06-16)
An important feature during cyclogenesis is the availability of moisture to fuel the associated convective activity providing faster developments and more intense systems. In this work, an investigation of the role of local ...
Drivers of fire occurrence in a mountainous Brazilian cerrado savanna: Tracking long-term fire regimes using remote sensing
(2017-07-01)
Fire is a natural disturbance in savannas, and defines vegetation physiognomy and structure, often influencing species diversity. Fire activity is determined by a wide range of factors, including long and short term climatic ...
Live fuel moisture content and leaf ignition of forest species in Andean Patagonia, Argentina
(Csiro Publishing, 2015-03)
Wildfires are common from summer to early fall in Patagonian forests of Argentina. Live fuel moisture content (LFMC) and leaf ignition are important factors for understanding fire behaviour. In this study, we determined ...
Estimation of live fuel moisture content from MODIS Images for fire danger assessment in southern Gran Chaco
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2016-12)
Moisture content of live fuels (LFMC) is one of the main factors determining fuel flammability and, therefore, a key indicator of fire danger. In this study, we modeled the relationship between spectral indices derived ...
Análise de sistema de vapor de água saturado com vistas à eficiência energética
(Universidade Federal de Santa MariaBrasilUFSMCentro de Tecnologia, 2017-07-29)
The efficient and rational use of energy, represents significant reductions in the cost of a product or a service. The thermal input used at Apolichs do Sul Indústria e Comércio de Materiales de Polimento LTDA, company ...
Ethanol fuel analysis by time-domain reflectometry
(Rio de Janeiro, 2014-03-24)
The technique of Time Domain Reflectometry
(TDR) is applied for qualifying ethanol adulterated with water
and / or methanol. We used the commercial TDR model VG400,
which was originally developed for determining soil ...
Biomass quality index: Searching for suitable biomass as an energy source in Chile
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
Foliar moisture content from the spectral signature for wildfire risk assessments in Valparaíso-Chile.
Fuel moisture content (FMC) proved to be one of the most relevant parameters for controlling fire behavior and risk, particularly at the wildland-urban interface (WUI). Data relating FMC to spectral indexes for different ...

Drivers of wildland fire behaviour variation across the Earth
(Univ Coimbra, 2018-01-01)
Fire behaviour characteristics define the impacts on society and the environment. While wildland fire science has expanded to include the analysis of fire activity and effects across the globe, an understanding of global ...
