As the largest river basin on Earth, the Amazon is of major importance to the world's climate
and water resources. Over the past decades, advances in satellite‐based remote sensing …

Indices for climate variability and extremes have been used for a long time, often by
assessing days with temperature or precipitation observations above or below specific …

This paper documents the main features of the climate and climate variability over South
America, on the basis of instrumental observations gathered during the 20th Century. It …

This paper presents fundamental climatological characteristics of the intertropical
convergence zone (ITCZ) in a simple concise manner using the highly reflective cloud …

An important goal of the Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR) research on the
American monsoon systems is to determine the sources and limits of predictability of warm …

The large-scale controls on the climate of the South American Altiplano are investigated
using local observations, reanalysis data and general circulation model experiments. The …

Rainfall variability in the Amazon basin (AB) is analysed for the 1964-2003 period. It is
based on 756 pluviometric stations distributed throughout the AB countries. For the first time …

We investigated the seasonal patterns of Amazonian forest photosynthetic activity, and the
effects thereon of variations in climate and land-use, by integrating data from a network of …

Este trabalho busca apresentar, de uma maneira compacta, os principais resultados
científicos já alcançados pela comunidade brasileira e mundial sobre pesquisas na …

Present climate of northwestern South America and the southern Isthmus is detailed in terms
of major hydro-climatic controls, supported by evidence from station records, reanalysis data …
