ESTUDOS CLIMÁTICOS NAS ESCALAS INFERIORES DO CLIMA: manguezais da Barra do Rio Ribeira, Iguape, SP (climatic studies on inferior scales of climate: some results of mangroves in ‘Barra of Rio Ribeira, Iguape- SP)
Abstract
Este artigo apresenta um exemplo de estudo do clima na escala microclimática. Adotou-se como ambiente de trabalho os manguezais da Barra do Ribeira do Rio Ribeira no Município de Iguape, SP. Realizou-se extensa e detalhada revisão bibliográfica acerca dos estudos, em especial, do meio físico para este ambiente. Os trabalhos de campo visaram identificar as espécies presentes nesta área. Instalou-se uma torre microclimática para avaliação dos atributos do clima em escala temporal adequada aos pressupostos teóricos-metedológicos dos estudos microclimáticos. A estrutura fisionômica do mangue apresenta influência direta na variação dos atributos climáticos em especial na redução da precipitação, da radiação solar global e na velocidade do vento abaixo do dossel.Palavras-Chave: Microclima, manguezal, escalas inferiores do clima.
ABSTRACT
This article presents an example of climate study on the microclimatic scale. The study area were the mangroves of ‘Barra do Ribeira’ of Ribeira river, in Iguape’s city, SP, Brazil. Was realized an extensive and detailed review about the studies of the physical features of this environment . The field works were realized to identify the species present in the area. A meteorological tower was installed to evaluate the climatic attributes in a temporal scale appropriate to the theorical-methodological presuppositions of the microclimatic studies. It was found that the physiognomic structures of mangroves has a direct influence on variation of climatic attributes in particular in reducing precipitation, solar radiation and wind speed below the canopy.
Key words: Microclimate, mangrove, inferior scales of climate.
RÉSUMÉ
Cet article présente un exemple d’étude du climat à la l’échelle microclimatique. A ètè adoptée telle que l’environnement de travail des palétuviers de la ‘Barra do Ribeira’ du fleuve Ribeira, Iguape, SP, Brazil. Il a été réalisé une révision approfondi et détaillé concernant les études, en particulier, sur les caractéristiques physiques de cet environnement, il a été réalisés aussi des travaux de champ pour identifier les espèces présentes dans ce secteur. Une tour météorologique a été installée pour évaluer les attributs climatiques dans une échelle temporelle appropriée aux présuppositions theorical-méthodologiques des études microclimatiques. On l’a constaté que le structure physionomique des palétuviers il presenté une influence directe sur la variation des attributs climatiques en particulier en réduisant la précipitation, le rayonnement solaire et la vitesse du vent au-dessous de la verrière.
Mots- Clés: Microclimat, palétuvier, échelles inférieures du climat.
