CHUVA Project Outcomes Discussed
at INPE
Wednesday, May 23, 2012
After two years of activities in different regions of
Brazil, CHUVA project promotes the I Scientific Workshop at the Brazil’s
National Institute for Space Research – (Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas
Espaciais - INPE), in São José dos Campos (SP), on May 25 and 24. The results
of field campaigns, research and discussions that have been conducted by the
five teams of the project will be presented.
Funded by FAPESP and coordinated by the Center for
Weather Forecasting and Climate Studies (CPTEC-INPE), the project aims to
understand different rainfall regimes in Brazil. In addition to the measures,
the great infrastructure of equipment, including a next-generation radar for
rainfall measurement, has been allowing the real time monitoring of precipitation
during the experiments.
The scientific campaigns have been to Alcântara (MA),
Fortaleza (CE), Belém (PA) and São José dos Campos (SP), whose rainfall and
lightning monitoring outcomes will be presented at the event.
For the workshop were submitted 59 papers that present
and discuss data collected during the campaigns on the themes: numerical
modeling in high resolution, microphysics of clouds, atmospheric electricity,
convective systems and nowcasting. On Friday (05/25), the project coordinators
will discuss the plans for the next step of CHUVA project – called CHUVA-SUL –
which will take place at Santa Maria (RS). The experiment will start between
November and December this year.
The Workshop programming is on
