Abstract

The South Atlantic Convergence Zone (SACZ) is one of the meteorological systems that plays a strong role in the rainfall regime in many regions of Brazil. This work aims to analyze the daytime cycle of the components of the hydrological balance during events of SACZ. Through the hourly data from the atmospheric reanalysis of Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 (MERRA2) the variables evapotranspiration, precipitation, convergence of moisture flow and variation of moisture storage in the atmosphere with time during the periods were analyzed. from dawn, morning, afternoon and night throughout the region of the SACZ and therefore, specifically in the region of the Amazon and Southeast Brazil. The analysis of the regions separately shows that even during the night there is convective activity and divergence of water vapor in the Amazon, which allows the flow of steam to be transported to the southeast even during night periods. Over the Southeast region it is possible to verify that during the night the convergence of atmospheric humidity can explain almost entirely the precipitation during the night. During the hours of the day, much of the precipitation can be explained by the increase in evapotranspiration over the Southeast.

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication

The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles. 

Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.

In particular, 

Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.

Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.

Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
