Cada localidad se ve afectada por la latitud, su relieve, su altura sobre el nivel del mar, por su distancia a cursos de agua o al mar, por citar algunos factores. Esto hace que cada localidad tenga a lo largo del año y ...

Wind turbines represent a growing energy source worldwide. In many cases, operating in turbulent and changing wind direction spots. In this work, we use a wind tunnel to analyse the effect of the turbulence in a wind ...

The South-Atlantic Patagonian shelf is the largest chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) hot spot in Southern Ocean color images. While a persistent 1500 km long band of high Chl-a along the shelf-break front (SBF) is indicative of ...

Broiler production in Brazil has turned into a very competitive activity in the late years. Constant innovation leads to higher productivity maintaining the same cost of production, which is a desirable situation. Lately ...

The past decade has seen a rapid increase in the use of wind profilers in atmospheric research [Gage, 1990]. Briefly, wind profilers are Doppler radars that observe winds from Doppler shifts of "clear air" atmospheric ...

On the night of January 29, 2016 a thunderstorm event was registered in Porto Alegre, Brazil. The winds caused damage throughout the majority of the city, leaving more than 220,000 houses without electricity and thousands ...
