Anabor, V., DJ Stensrud, and OLL de Moraes, 2009: Simulation of a serial upstream-
propagating mesoscale convective system event over southeastern South America using …

Moisture is transported in South America westward from the tropical Atlantic Ocean to the
Amazon basin, and then southward toward the extratropics. A regional intensification of this …

Prior studies have shown that the low-level jet is a recurrent characteristic of the
environment during the initiation and mature stages of mesoscale convective systems …

Abstract The Cloud, Aerosol, and Complex Terrain Interactions (CACTI) field campaign was
designed to improve understanding of orographic cloud life cycles in relation to surrounding …

Previous studies showed a relationship between convection maxima and the convergence
of vapor flux over southeastern South America. Nicolini and Saulo [2000] explored the …

The differences on the phase and wavelength of the quasi-stationary waves over the South
America generated by El Niño (EN) and La Niña (LN) events seem to affect the daily …
