inb4 Cortical adaptation of the night monkey to a nocturnal niche environment: a comparative non-invasive T1w/T2w myelin study gets quoted.

There’s this phenomenon called South Atlantic Anomaly whose one of their points is centered within the Brazilian territory (the other is centered somewhere near the west of Africa continent). I wonder how it would be a factor, together with the consequences of climate changes, in a “hotter” sunshine. Pará is located in northern Brazil, while this SAA is centered somewhere around the south or southeast (I’m not sure if it’s centered at Santa Catarina, Paraná or São Paulo, because the NASA map regarding SAA doesn’t show the boundaries between the states, only boundaries between countries), but it covers a significant part of the Brazilian territory (and the last maps suggest that it’s growing in size).

I know that satellites often need to shut down some of their onboard systems while they’re orbiting around and inside the SAA due to its effects, but I’m not sure if these effects would extend all the way to the ground.
