Southeastern South America (SESA) is found to be the main hot spot of soil moisture?evapotranspiration coupling of South America during a dry summer. However, only its eastern part is a soil moisture?precipitation hot spot. ...

We perform a systematic study of the predict- ability of surface air temperature and precipitation in Southeastern South America (SESA) using ensembles of AGCM simulations, focusing on the role of the South Atlantic and ...

Impacts of the main South American orographic structures (the Andes, the Brazilian Plateau and the Guiana shield) on the regional climate and associated global teleconnection are investigated through numerical experiments ...

In regions of strong Land-Atmosphere (L-A) interaction, soil moisture (SM) conditions can impact the atmosphere through modulating the land surface fluxes. The importance of the identification of L-A interaction regions ...

Southeastern South America has been identified as a hot spot of soil moisture and evapotranspiration coupling efficiency during austral summer in a previous study. Here, hydrological processes such as coupling and memory ...

Based on a series of experiments conducted by two regional climate models (RCA4 and LMDZ) with and without soil moisture-atmosphere coupling, we investigate the role of soil moisture on the occurrence of surface air ...

Daily station precipitation totals are used to develop a gridded dataset for the region (14°–40°S, 45°–70°W) on a 0.5° × 0.5° latitude/longitude grid, primarily for comparison with regional climate model (RCM) simulations. ...
