Resumo: Studies of the variables making up the radiation balance are essential in climatology, mainly to understand the dynamics of the hydrologic cycle. Decreases in rainfall can be linked to changes in actual evapotranspiration values on the surface, since changes in land use modify the albedo, the vegetation index, and the surface temperature. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the performance of the Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land algorithm in estimating the annual flow in watersheds located in the Brazilian savanna, considered as the simplified result of subtracting the values of rainfall from actual evapotranspiration. The algorithm allows estimation of flows for watersheds that do not have monitoring points, contributing to studies of water availability in large regions that are difficult to access. The results showed a correlation coefficient of 0.99 and a coefficient of determination of 0.99 between annual flows estimated according to categories of use and coverage of land and flows observed at fluviometric stations, with a performance of 99%, indicating the applicability of the model to estimate flows in areas without monitoring points. For the monthly flows estimated from information recorded by INMET automatic stations, there is a considerable effect of seasonality, with a record of negative values in the dry period. Despite this, the estimated flows showed a correlation of 0.80 with the observed values, with a performance of 89%. On average, flows in the studied watersheds account for 20% of total rainfall volume, which is an underestimate in comparison with values measured in the field, with an average error of -0.5898 m³/s/m².

A diminuição das chuvas pode estar relacionada à mudança nos valores de evapotranspiração real em superfície, visto que mudanças no uso da terra como a conversão de florestas em pastagens alteram o albedo, o índice de vegetação e a temperatura de superfície. Neste sentido, estudos com foco nos efeitos das mudanças ambientais sobre os fluxos de energia na superfície são fundamentais para a conservação dos recursos hídricos e, consequentemente, da vida na Terra. A pesquisa tem como objetivo avaliar o desempenho do algoritmo SEBAL (Surface Energy Balance Algorithms for Land) para a estimativa de vazão anual em bacias hidrográficas situadas no Cerrado Brasileiro considerando esta ser o resultado simplificado da subtração entre os valores de precipitação e evapotranspiração real. Permite, deste modo, a estimativa de vazão para bacias hidrográficas que não dispõem de pontos de monitoramento, contribuindo com estudos sobre disponibilidade hídrica em regiões extensas e de difícil acesso. Os resultados demonstraram correlação de 0,99 e coeficiente de determinação de 0,99 entre vazões anuais estimadas de acordo com as categorias de uso e cobertura da terra e vazões observadas em estações fluviométricas, com desempenho de 99%, constatando a aplicabilidade do modelo para estimativa de vazões em áreas sem pontos de monitoramento. Para as vazões mensais estimadas a partir de informações registradas por estações automáticas do INMET, nota-se considerável efeito da sazonalidade, com registro de valores negativos no período seco. Apesar disso, as vazões estimadas apresentaram correlação de 0,80 com os valores observados, com desempenho de 89%. Em média, as vazões nas bacias estudadas corresponde a 20% do total do volume precipitado apresentando subestimativa em relação aos valores aferidos em campo, com erro médio de -0,5898 m³/s/m².Universidade Federal de Uberlândia2020-09-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/article/view/5316910.14393/SN-v32-2020-53169Sociedade & Natureza; Vol. 32 (2020); 687-698Sociedade & Natureza; v. 32 (2020); 687-6981982-45130103-1570reponame:Sociedade & natureza (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)instacron:UFUporenghttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/article/view/53169/30030https://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/article/view/53169/30041Copyright (c) 2020 Alécio Perini Martins, Emerson Galvaniinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMartins, Alécio PeriniGalvani, Emerson2021-07-01T16:18:20Zoai:ojs.www.seer.ufu.br:article/53169Revistahttp://www.sociedadenatureza.ig.ufu.br/PUBhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/oai||sociedade.natureza.ufu@gmail.com|| lucianamelo@ufu.br1982-45130103-1570opendoar:2021-07-01T16:18:20Sociedade & natureza (Online) - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)false
