Cross-hole and seismic CPT tests in a tropical soil site
(2006-12-28)
A large portion of Brazil is covered with tropical soils but literature about dynamic parameters of these soils is very limited. SCPT and cross-hole tests were carried out at an experimental research site inland in the ...
Editorial : Tropical Climate Variability and Change: Impacts in the Amazon
(Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019-08-26)
Vast amounts of data from satellites and ground-based systems, and improvements on modeling techniques, allows a better understanding of Earth processes and advances on climate science. The tropics play a key role on global ...
Strength and Stiffness Parameters of an Unsaturated Tropical Soil
(Amer Soc Civil Engineers, 2018-01-01)
The interpretation of in-situ tests for site characterization of unsaturated tropical soil sites should consider both the spatial and the seasonal variability caused by the soil suction on the strength and stiffness ...
Prediction of Load-Settlement Curves by the DMT in an Unsaturated Tropical Soil Site
(Brazilian Soc Soil Mechanics & Geotechnical Engineering, 2019-09-01)
Several methods for prediction of the load-settlement curves of shallow foundations have been proposed based on in-situ testing data. However, the good accuracy of such prediction depends on the definition of appropriate ...
Wind forcing of sea level variability in a tropical coral reef area in the western Gulf of MexicoWind forcing of sea level variability in a tropical coral reef area in the Western Gulf of Mexico

What can the internal variability of CMIP5 models tell us about their climate sensitivity?
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)
The relationship between climate models’ internal variability and their response to external forcings is investigated. Frequency-dependent regressions are performed between the outgoing top-of-atmosphere (TOA) energy fluxes ...
