Linking Meteorology, Turbulence, and Air Chemistry in the Amazon Rain Forest

open access: yes, 2016
We describe the salient features of a field study whose goals are to quantify the vertical distribution of plant-emitted hydrocarbons and their contribution to aerosol and cloud condensation nuclei production above a central Amazonian rain forest.

Brazil climate highlights 2023

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract In the year 2023, the Earth experienced the highest near‐surface temperature anomalies ever recorded until then. In addition, several extreme weather and climate events occurred around the world, including in Brazil. In this context, the primary objective of this study is to analyze the anomalous temperature and precipitation patterns observed

Applications of airborne remote sensing in atmospheric sciences research [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
This paper explores the potential for airborne remote sensing for atmospheric sciences research. Passive and active techniques from the microwave to visible bands are discussed. It is concluded that technology has progressed sufficiently in several areas

Intercomparison of mesoscale meteorological models

open access: yes, 2004
In the framework of the RAPHAEL EU project, a series of past heavy precipitation events has been simulated with different meteorological models. Rainfall hindcasts and forecasts have been produced by four models in use at various meteorological services or research centres of Italy, Canada, France and Switzerland. The paper is focused on the comparison

Effectiveness of the Ike Dike in mitigating coastal flood risk under multiple climate and sea level rise projections

open access: yesRisk Analysis, EarlyView.
Abstract In the aftermath of Hurricane Ike in 2008 in the United States, the “Ike Dike” was proposed as a coastal barrier system, featuring floodgates, to protect the Houston‐Galveston area (HGA) from future storm surges. Given its substantial costs, the feasibility and effectiveness of the Ike Dike have been subjects of investigation.

Local Scale Current and Projected Future Total Flood Hazard Mapping for Canada—Literature Review

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 18, Issue 3, September 2025.
ABSTRACT This review, based on 231 articles, focuses on studies relevant to Canada that assess fluvial, pluvial, and coastal flood hazards at national and broader scales. It evaluates the application of remote sensing and artificial intelligence methods for flood mapping within the Canadian context.
