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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: Seasonal linear trends of precipitation from South American station data, which have been averaged onto grids, are examined, with emphasis on the central continent. In the period 1976?99, the largest trend south of 20°S ...
