The annual amount of precipitation inputs received by a site during a full year is considered a dominant spatial and temporal control of primary productivity and other related process in arid to subhumid ecosystems. However, ...

Study region: An area in NEA located within the La Plata Basin (LPB) where extreme precipitation events (EPE) are the most harmful and costly natural disasters. Study focus: The study analyzes the spatiotemporal behavior ...

The present work seeks to approach the natural disasters and extreme events that affect the southeast of Brazil, specifically the municipality of Bauru, in the state of São Paulo. Firstly, the text brings some theoretical ...

This PhD thesis aims to study the dynamics of precipitation anomalies and extreme precipitation events in tropical South America (TrSA). Precipitation anomalies in TrSA are influenced by a complex climate variability ...

The Northeastern Argentine (NEA) region is one of the most productive and vulnerable to climate risk due to frequent extreme precipitation events (EPE). The present study aims to identify and explain the spatiotemporal ...

Equatorial Pacific sea surface temperature variations interact with processes of atmospheric circulation, creating conditions for the occurrence of El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO). ENSO events represent the most important ...

Tropical cyclones are one of the most important causes of disasters in Central America. Using historical (1970–2010) tracks of cyclones in the Caribbean and Pacific basin, we identify critical path locations where these ...

In this paper we analyse the joint distribution of extreme temperature and heavy precipitation events in southern South America during 1961-2000, and the predominant atmospheric circulation associated with the occurrence ...

© 2022 by the authors.The number of natural disasters triggered by extreme events is increasing worldwide and significantly impacts modern society. Extreme rainfall is one of the most important factors contributing to these ...
