“…Lack of lifting mechanism over the forested surfaces leads to suppression of convection even though ample potential energy for convection is available. This line of reasoning is consistent with the observations (28) showing significantly weaker sensible heat flux over the forest than over the pasture assuming that the boundary layer turbulence is the dominant lifting mechanism to initiate convection. This argu- ment is reinforced by the observations showing individual (shallow) clouds tending to form over grassy pixels rather than over forested pixels within the partially deforested region (Fig.…”

“…Souza, et al (28) found that the land surface heterogeneities over the study domain during this study period did cause convective circulation with wind direction toward the pasture from the forest near the surface and with opposite direction above driven by the gradient of nonhydrostatic pressure. Their findings are supported by other earlier studies (16,30) showing that mesoscale circulations induced by land surface heterogeneities could reach a level significantly higher than the CBL.…”

“…A teoria termodinâmica, descrita em detalhes por Souza e Rennó (2000), combina uma equação de energia para uma parcela em convecção com a primeira e a segunda leis da termodinâmica. O objetivo é obter uma equação para a queda de pressão associada a uma circulação convectiva entre o seu ponto de alta pressão (ponto A) e o seu ponto de baixa pressão (ponto B).…”

“…Segundo Wright et al (1996) a evapotranspiração diminui na estação seca sobre as pastagens e se mantém constante o ano todo sobre a floresta. Dessa forma a partição de calor sensível e calor latente sobre a pastagem privilegia o calor sensível e segundo Fisch et al (1996) e Souza et al (2000) isso favorece um rápido crescimento da camada de mistura e leva as parcelas de ar até o nível de condensação por levantamento (NCL). As florestas mantêm a evapotranspiração mesmo na estação seca devido às raízes profundas.…”
