RISThe Paraná River Response to El Niño 1982–83 and 1997–98 Events
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The most severe flooding of the twentieth century in the Argentine section of the Paraná River occurred during the strong El Niño (EN) event of 1983. During the 1997?98 EN episode, discharge anomalies in the Paraná basin, ...
The Hydrologic Cycle of the La Plata Basin in South America
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The main components of the hydrologic cycle of the La Plata basin in southeastern South America are investigated using a combination of observations, satellite products, and National Centers for Environmental Prediction ...
On the Evaluation of Wind Power from Short Wind Records
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method to estimate the meteorological mean wind power of a given site and year based upon data of only three months is presented. It is based on the minimization of the rms errors between observations and a representation ...
On the Extension of Climatic Series from Short Records
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method is described for finding the minimum span of data required for climatic series extension to a specified and longer period within a RMSE bound, using a principal components regression technique (PCT). The mean ...
Midsummer Low-Level Circulation and Precipitation in Subtropical South America and Related Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies in the South Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The midsummer interannual variability of the low-level tropospheric circulation and of the precipitation field in subtropical South America (SA) associated to the sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the western ...
The Relation between Sea Surface Temperature at the Subtropical South-Central Pacific and Precipitation in Southeastern South America
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper deals with the relationship between the interannual variability of sea surface temperature (SST) and its associated atmospheric circulation and rainfall variability over southeastern South America (SSA), namely ...
Climate Variability in Southern South America Associated with El Niño and La Niña Events
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A comprehensive view is given of the precipitation and circulation anomalies associated with the various stages of El Niño (EN) and La Niña (LN) events all over southern South America (SSA). This view comprises the delineation ...
Differences in El Niño Response over the Southern Hemisphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Southern Hemisphere (SH) circulation conditions during austral springs of ENSO events are examined. Based on previous knowledge that SST variations over the subtropical south-central Pacific (SSCP) region are linked to ...
The Major Discharge Events in the Paraguay River: Magnitudes, Source Regions, and Climate Forcings
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The greatest discharges of the Paraguay River were studied using monthly series of Ladario, Brazil, at the outlet of the vast wetland of the Pantanal, and Asunción, Paraguay, at the middle Paraguay River outlet. Most of ...
How Does Soil Moisture Influence the Early Stages of the South American Monsoon?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This article discusses the feedbacks between soil moisture and precipitation during the early stages of the South American monsoon. The system achieves maximum precipitation over the southern Amazon basin and the Brazilian ...
