Abstract In South America, land–atmosphere interactions have an important impact on
climate, particularly the regional hydrological cycle, but detailed evaluation of these …

The observed continuous rise in the frequency of extreme heat events in South America (SA)
poses a serious challenge for public health. However, there is a lack on the understanding …

This study evaluates projected changes in surface water and energy balances and surface–
atmosphere coupling in the South American Monsoon System (SAMS) for the end of the …

Numerical weather-and climate prediction models rely on soil data to accurately model land
surface processes. However, as soil data are produced using soil profiles and maps with …

Worldwide, fires have substantial economic, social and health-related impacts. Brazil is one
of the most affected areas in the globe, particularly the Cerrado, a savanna-like biome …

The upper-level jet stream is a critical element of atmospheric circulation, driving synoptic
systems and extreme weather events. This study analyzes the impact of upper-level jets on …

Based on a series of experiments conducted by two regional climate models (RCA4 and
LMDZ) with and without soil moisture-atmosphere coupling, we investigate the role of soil …

A characterization of the diurnal cycle of precipitation (DCP) over the whole South America
is still lacking in the literature and the scarcity of sub‐daily rain ground measurements limits …

Abstract Southeastern South America is subject to considerable precipitation variability on
seasonal to decadal timescales and has undergone very heavy land‐cover changes (LCCs) …

The land–atmosphere interactions play an important role in modulating climate variability at
different spatial and temporal scales. In South America, two recognized hot spots of soil …
