Validação da reanálise do MERRA-2 com dados observados
Metodologias e Aprendizado, 2021 Climate data such as temperature are key to understand a place’s dynamic. Since the classic period to study climate is thirty years, some areas face difficulties due to the lack of broad data record. Thus, one solution to this situation is the employment

A new satellite-based global climatology of dust aerosol optical depth [PDF]
, 2020 By mass, dust is the largest contributor to global aerosol burden, yet long-term observational records of dust, particularly over the ocean, are limited.

Evaluating the transferability of empirical models of debris-covered glacier melt
Journal of Glaciology, 2020 Supraglacial debris is significant in many regions and complicates modeling of glacier melt, which is required for predicting glacier change and its influences on hydrology and sea-level rise.

Downwelling surface solar irradiance in the tropical Atlantic Ocean: a comparison of re-analyses and satellite-derived data sets to PIRATA measurements [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2018 This paper assesses the merits and drawbacks of several data sets of solar downwelling radiation received at the horizontal surface of the tropical Atlantic Ocean where the magnitude of this radiation and its spatial and temporal variability are not ...

How Well Is Surface Diurnal Temperature Range Represented by Observations at 2‐m Level
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.We demonstrate that geostationary satellites depict well the Diurnal Temperature Range (DTR) in the US but differ from information at 2 m level from model outputs. Upper: mean diurnal temperature range (DTR) using GOES‐E based land surface temperature (LST) for January (left) and July (right) during 2004–2009. Lower: mean diurnal temperature range (DTR)

Aerosol and Air Quality Research, 2020 The PM2.5 (particulate matter with a diameter ≤ 2.5 µm), an essential component of air pollution, is closely linked to adverse effects on human health, including premature mortality following prolonged exposure.

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Climate models generally reproduce the WAWJ and August peak but simulate its onset prematurely and too strongly relative to ERA5. CMIP6 simulations struggle to reproduce the jet–precipitation relationship in the Sahel and underrepresent associated moisture transports.

Multi‐Country‐Multi‐City Characterisation of Heat Stress and Exposure in Africa
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.This study provides the first continent‐wide, grid‐specific assessment of heat stress trends in Africa, revealing a sharp rise in multi‐scale extreme heat episodes and shifting population exposure. Findings highlight urgent implications for urban planning and climate adaptation.
