Urban areas are expanding in all parts of the world, and are recognized as important atmospheric sources of greenhouse gases (GHG) and of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCP). The SLCP are the gases and particulates that are also responsible for global warming not caused by the CO2 and that have atmospheric lifetime of less than 20 years. The emissions, fate and atmospheric concentration…
Clouds have important role on the climate. They participate in the hydrological cycle and interact significantly both with the solar and the thermal radiation. In the solar spectrum, clouds can scatter and absorb solar radiation, while in the thermal infrared they absorb the radiation emitted by the surface and emit radiation back to the surface. The 3D non-homogeneous structure of clouds…
The burning of biomass emits a large quantity of gases and aerosol particles into the atmosphere. The particles interact with solar radiation, spreading out and absorbing, in such a way as to diminish the total quantity available on the surface and increasing the diffuse fraction. Such alterations in the profile of radiation affect the balance of radiation and the turbulent fluxes of sens…

Megacities are key elements in the problem of global warming and climate change. Nevertheless, the impact that these urban agglomerations have on the concentration of atmospheric aerosols and long-lived or short-lived greenhouse gases remains an open question. While densely urbanized regions are sources of pollutants capable of altering the local and even global climate, they are also the…
Megacities are nowadays recognized as important sources of anthropogenic greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, mainly linked to the energy sector and transportation through fossil fuel consumption. São Paulo Metropolitan Area (SPMA), with 20 million inhabitants and more than 7 million vehicles fueled with gasohol, ethanol or diesel (Almeida et al., 2014), the largest city in Brazil, cannot …
Clouds interact with radiation through absorption and scattering in the solar spectrum, and also emitting thermal radiation. In order to better estimate the cloud radiative forcing, one needs to know its physical and optical properties, such as cloud optical depth, water, and ice content, cloud fraction and temperature, particularly of its base in the case of surface radiation budget esti…
Recent research indicates that using a spherical model to study light scattering of particles with nonspherical shapes can introduce large incertainties in esimating the direct radiative forcing of aerosol particles. This project aims estimating relevant optical properties of nonspherical aerosol particles important for calculating their climate direct radiative forcing (such as single sc…
