Variations of Sea Surface Temperature, Wind Stress, and Rainfall over the Tropical Atlantic and South America
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Empirical orthogonal functions (E0Fs) and composite analyses are used to investigate the development of sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly patterns over the tropical Atlantic. The evolution of large-scale rainfall anomaly ...
Dynamical Downscaling of Seasonal Climate Prediction over Nordeste Brazil with ECHAM3 and NCEP's Regional Spectral Models at IRI
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study presents an evaluation of a seasonal climate forecast done with the International Research Institute for Climate Prediction (IRI) dynamical forecast system (regional model nested into a general circulation model) ...
Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Variations over the South Atlantic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he impact of ocean?atmosphere interactions on summer rainfall over the South Atlantic Ocean is explored through the use of coupled ocean?atmosphere models. The Brazilian Center for Weather Forecast and Climate Studies ...
Amazon Deforestation and Climate Change in a Coupled Model Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effects of Amazon deforestation on climate change are investigated using twin numerical experiments of an atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) with prescribed global sea surface temperature and the same AGCM ...
The Pirata Program: History, Accomplishments, and Future Directions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Pilot Research Moored Array in the tropical Atlantic (PIRATA) was developed as a multinational observation network to improve our knowledge and understanding of ocean?atmosphere variability in the tropical Atlantic. ...
Climate Simulation and Change in the Brazilian Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he response of the global climate system to atmospheric CO2 concentration increase in time is scrutinized employing the Brazilian Earth System Model Ocean?Atmosphere version 2.3 (BESM-OA2.3). Through the achievement of ...
