This paper reviews recent progress in the study and understanding of extreme seasonal
events in the Amazon region, focusing on drought and floods. The review includes a history …

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 …

Tree transpiration in the Amazon may enhance rainfall for downwind forests. Until now it has
been unclear how this cascading effect plays out across the basin. Here, we calculate local …

This study provides an updated analysis of the evolution of seasonal rainfall intensity in the
Amazon basin, considering the 1981–2017 period and based on HOP (interpolated HYBAM …

Major land use and land cover changes (LULCC) have taken place in Brazil, including large
scale conversion of forest to agriculture. LULCC alters surface-atmosphere interactions …

Two simultaneous extreme events affected tropical South America to the east of the Andes
during the austral summer and fall of 2012: a severe drought in Northeast Brazil and intense …

The assessment of sources of moisture is key to the understanding of the hydrological cycle
at different time scales, because it enables the establishment of source-sink relationships …

In this work, the authors analyze the origin of the extreme floods in the Peruvian Amazonas
River during the 1970–2012 period, focusing on the recent April 2012 flooding (55 400 m 3 …

Future climate projections focusing on precipitation and water resource trends over South
America (SA) are investigated using two ensembles. One of them is composed of three …
