Some of the most intense convective storms on Earth initiate near the Sierras de Córdoba mountain range in Argentina. The goal of the RELAMPAGO field campaign was to observe these intense convective storms and their ...

Regional land-atmosphere feedbacks play an important role in the occurrence of extremes in southern South America. However, they are not fully understood. Currently, many atmospheric models have simplified land surface ...

Quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPFs) were obtained from ensembles of the weather and research forecasting (WRF) model for the Iguac¸u river watershed (IRW) in southern Brazil. Thirty-two rainfall events between ...

High-resolution quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) from radar and satellite combined with rain gauges is one of the most important guides for hydrological forecasts. Whereas rain gauges provide accurate measurement ...

Extreme discharge events in the La Plata Basin need to be prevented. Simple approaches to the forecast problem such as SARIMA models usually predict average values correctly but fail to anticipate extreme events. As an ...

Central America is frequently affected by droughts that cause significant socio-economic and environmental problems. Drought characterisation, monitoring and forecasting are potentially useful to support water resource ...

© 2019 by the authors.The intensification of the hydrological cycle because of global warming raises concerns about future floods and their impact on large cities where exposure to these events has also increased. The ...

The importance of forecasting extreme wet and dry conditions from weeks to months in advance relies on the need to prevent considerable socioeconomic losses, mainly in regions of large populations and where agriculture is ...
