RESUMOEstudos relacionados às propriedades óticas de aerossóis atmosféricos são de grande relevância para a pesquisa. Desta forma, o presente trabalho propõe uma caracterização sazonal e interanual da Profundidade Ótica de Aerossóis (AOD) na faixa de 500 nm para uma região de transição Pantanalcerrado (Características de Cerrado), na região centro sul no estado de Mato Grosso. Os dados de AOD 500 nm foram adquiridos junto à rede AERONET de 2001 a 2013. Seus valores diários apresentam claramente um comportamento sazonal com mínimos nas estações chuvosas e máximos na estação seca. Os primeiros ficaram concentrados em aproximadamente 0,2, enquanto que os máximos atingiram valores próximos a 3,0. Com relação à caracterização interanual, percebeu-se que não há comportamento periódico, havendo grandes variações de ano para ano. As médias mensais de AOD 500 nm foram correlacionadas com os registros mensais de focos de queimada para o estado de Mato Grosso, no entanto, não houve correlação estatisticamente significativa, o que evidencia que tal relação existe, mas que não é direta.

Thus , this paper proposes a seasonal and inter-depth characterization of Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) in the range of 500 nm for a Pantanal -Cerrado transition region (Characteristics of Cerrado) , in the central south region in the state of Mato Grosso. The AOD 500 nm data were acquired from AERONET network from 2001 to 2013. The AOD 500 nm daily values present a seasonal pattern with minimum and maximum in the rainy and dry seasons, respectively. The minimum values were concentrated approximately at 0.2 whereas the maximum values close to 3.0. Regarding the inter-annual characterization, it was noticed that not a periodic behavior, with large variations from year to year. The monthly averages of AOD 500 nm were correlated with the
Forest to pasture land use change following deforestation in Southern Amazonia can result in changes to stream water quality. However, some pasture streams have riparian forest buffers, while others are dammed for farm ponds. Stream corridor management can have differential effects on hydrology and dissolved organic matter (DOM) characteristics. We examined rainfall-runoff patterns and DOM characteristics in a pasture catchment with a forested riparian buffer, and an adjacent catchment with an impoundment. Total streamflow was 1.5 times higher with the riparian buffer, whereas stormflow represented 20% of total discharge for the dammed stream versus 13% with buffer. Stream corridor management was also the primary factor related to DOM characteristics. In the impounded catchment, DOM was found to be less structurally complex, with lower molecular weight compounds, a lesser degree of humification, and a larger proportion of protein-like DOM. In the catchment with a forested buffer, DOM was dominated by humic-like components, with fluorescence characteristics indicative of DOM derived from humified soil organic matter under native vegetation. Our results suggest that differences in stream corridor management can have important implications for carbon cycling in headwater pasture catchments, and that such changes may have the potential to influence water quality downstream in the Amazon basin.
As análises das propriedades óticas dos aerossóis atmosféricos auxiliam no entendimento dos efeitos diretos e indiretos dessas partículas nos fluxos de energia do sistema Terra-atmosfera. Este estudo avalia a variação espaço-temporal dos valores de Profundidade Ótica de Aerossóis (AOD) sobre uma região no centro-oeste do Brasil, utilizando produtos de sensoriamento remoto (MYD08_D3.051, C005 versão 5.1, de nível 3 do MODIS), de 2010 a 2013. A análise temporal evidenciou variações sazonais da AOD 550 nm, justificadas pela ocorrência de inúmeros registros de queima de biomassa em todo o Brasil, contexto no qual se destaca o ano de 2010, cujos valores de AOD 550 nm atingiram os máximos de todo o período analisado. Com relação à variação espacial, os maiores valores de AOD 550 nm foram obtidos sobre uma região sazonalmente alagada, o Pantanal mato-grossense, que, em comparação com a Savana, região conhecida localmente como Cerrado, praticamente não apresenta registros de queimadas na estação seca. Foi aplicado o modelo de trajetória HYSPLIT para explicar as possíveis contribuições externas. Foram encontradas evidências de que a região do Pantanal é fortemente influenciada por movimentações de ar vindas do sudeste e norte do Brasil, justamente regiões com altos índices de queima de biomassa na estação seca.Palavra-chave: focos de queimadas, propriedades óticas de aerossóis, HYSPLIT. SPATIOTEMPORAL VARIABILITY OF THE OPTICAL DEPTH OF AEROSOLS IN AREAS OF THE SAVANNAH AND OF THE PANTANAL IN THE CENTRAL REGION OF BRAZIL ABSTRACT:The analyses of the optical properties of atmospheric aerosols assist in the understanding of the direct and indirect effects of these particles in the Earth-atmosphere energy system flows. This study evaluates the spatial and temporal variation of the values of the Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) in a region in the midwest of Brazil using remote sensing products (MYD08_D3.051, C005 version 5.1, Level 3 of MODIS), between 2010 and 2013. The temporal analysis showed seasonal variations of the AOD 550 nm, that are justified by the occurrence of numerous records of biomass burning all over Brazil, especially in the year of 2010, whose AOD values reached a peak in the analyzed period. Regarding the spatial variation, the highest AOD 550 nm values were obtained in a seasonally flooded region, the Pantanal in the state of Mato Grosso, which, compared to the Savannah, presents nearly no records of fires during the dry season. The HYSPLIT trajectory model was used to explain the possible external contributions. Evidences was found that the Pantanal region is highly influenced by air movements originated from the southeast and north of Brazil were found - these are precisely regions with high levels of biomass burning during the dry season.Keywords: biomass burning, optical properties of aerosols, HYSPLIT.
