The interannual variability of the frontal activity over the western Southern Hemisphere and its linkage with the variability of the atmospheric circulation and precipitation over southern South America is studied. The ...

This article addresses the regional impacts of climate change on precipitation and meteorological drought over Southern South America (SSA) through a CMIP5 multi-model ensemble based on 15 General Circulation Models (GCMs) ...

Several temperature and precipitation indices, with special focus on extremes, were analysed in different sub-regions of southern South America during 1979–2017 using multiple reanalyses, the CPC gridded data set and the ...

Based on 56 rainfall stations, which cover the period 1961–2008, we analyzed the presence of trends in the drought-affected area over southern South America (SSA) at different time scales. In order to define drought ...

This study quantifies the impact of atmospheric rivers (ARs) on precipitation in southern South America. An AR detection algorithm was developed based on integrated water vapor transport (IVT) from 6-hourly CFSR reanalysis ...

Southern South America (SSA), considered as the continental region south of 20°S, has experienced significant precipitation variability and trends in the last decades. This article uses monthly quality-controlled precipitation ...

Precipitation predictions in the sub-seasonal timescale are very important for several sectors such as agriculture and energy in regions of South America that are very much affected by precipitation extremes, both excess ...

This paper quantifies the relationship between sea ice cover (SIC) on the Southern Ocean precipitation and river discharges over southeastern and eastern South America. The period of analysis covers from 1981 to 2008 and ...

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 ...
