An analysis of diurnal cycles in the mass of ambient aerosols derived from biomass burning and agro-industry
(2013-08-16)
Strong diurnal cycles in ambient aerosol mass were observed in a rural region of Southeast Brazil where the trace composition of the lower troposphere is governed mainly by emissions from agro-industry. An optical particle ...
Interaction of equatorial waves through resonance with the diurnal cycle of tropical heating
(Co-action Publishing, 2010-10-01)
In this work, a new theoretical mechanism is presented in which equatorial Rossby and inertio-gravity wave modes may interact with each other through resonance with the diurnal cycle of tropical deep convection. We have ...
Diurnal evolution of solar radiation at the surface in the city of São Paulo: Seasonal variation and modeling
(2002-04-05)
Seasonal variations in the diurnal evolution of the global, diffuse and direct solar radiation at the surface, the clearness index, diffuse fraction and direct fraction are described in detail for the City of Sao Paulo, ...
Variations of carbon monoxide concentrations in the Megacity of São Paulo from 2000 to 2015 in different time Scales
(2017-04-28)
Air pollution is an important public health issue. High levels of carbon monoxide in the atmosphere are hazardous to human health. Studies regarding the concentration of this and other gases in the atmosphere allow political ...
Interaction of equatorial waves through resonance with the diurnal cycle of tropical heating
(WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, INC, 2010)
In this work, a new theoretical mechanism is presented in which equatorial Rossby and inertio-gravity wave modes may interact with each other through resonance with the diurnal cycle of tropical deep convection. We have ...
Thermal response to the surface heat flux in a macrotidal coastal region (Nuevo Gulf, Argentina)
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016-07)
At mid-latitudes, sea water temperature shows a strong seasonal cycle forced by the incident surface heat flux. As depth decreases, the heat flux incidence is damped by the horizontal flux, which prevents the indefinite ...
Locomotor and metabolic activities of Gymnostreptus olivaceus (Diplopoda, Spirostreptida) at different photoperiod conditions
(Elsevier B.V., 1995-11-01)
In the present investigation the locomotor and the metabolic activity of Gymnostreptus olivaceus were studied, using 24-hr cycles at different photoperiods and constant temperature and RH. Locomotor activity was studied ...
Cotton Germination and Emergence under High Diurnal Temperatures
(Crop Science Soc Amer, 2017-09-01)
In tropical climates, high soil temperatures during the cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) planting season impair seed germination and plant emergence, resulting in poor stand establishment. Under these conditions, the performance ...
CO2 exposure enhances Fos expression in hypothalamic neurons in rats during the light and dark phases of the diurnal cycle
(Springer, 2022-09-15)
Orexinergic (OX) neurons in the lateral hypothalamus (LH), perifornical area (PFA) and dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH) play a role in the hypercapnic ventilatory response, presumably through direct inputs to central pattern ...
Características del ciclo diurno de precipitación en el Caribe de Costa Rica
(2016-02)
El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar las características del ciclo diurno de la precipitación en la vertiente Caribe de Costa Rica, su variabilidad espacial y estacional, así como su relación con los patrones de viento. ...
