Atmospheric Physics is the study of physical processes in the atmosphere; understanding the climate and the weather, and the physical reasons ____01______ it is as it is and how it might change in the future. My own particular research background is in radiative transfer and ____02______ I mean the transport of electromagnetic radiation through the atmosphere; _____03_____ the Sun’s radiation coming in, getting absorbed and scattered in the air, and the transfer of heat radiation emitted by the Earth’s surface. From a _____04_____ physics perspective there’s an awful lot of things about the atmosphere that we don’t understand, and of course, it’s very classical physics in the ____05______ that it’s looking at fluid dynamics and thermodynamics applied to the natural environment. What motivates us really is to try and explain what we see in the environment, what _____06_____ it and what might change it in the future, both in _____07_____ of local weather but also climate, by _____08_____ I mean larger areas and larger timescales. My background has led me to an interest in how solar radiation _____09_____ in the atmosphere, so ____10______ at how changes in the Sun might affect the climate for the past year.
Gabarito:
I’ve been looking
Resolução:
A frase "[...] so ______ at how changes in the Sun might affect the climate" pode ser traduzida como "então _____ como mudanças no Sol podem afetar o clima". Assim, temos:
a) Alternativa incorreta. Eu observei não se encaixa no contexto.
b) Alternativa correta. Eu tenho observado se encaixa perfeitamente no contexto, justamente pela utilização do marcador temporal for the past year.
c) Alternativa incorreta. Eu observo não se encaixa no contexto.
d) Alternativa incorreta. Eu observarei não se encaixa no contexto.
e) Alternativa incorreta. Eu não observei não se encaixa no contexto.
