Owing to the extraordinary latitudinal extent, a strong orographic variability with very high
mountain tops, and the presence of deep valleys and steep slopes, the Andes and the …

This paper reviews the effects of deforestation on the hydrological cycle in Amazonia
according to recent modeling and observational studies performed within different spatial …

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 …

This paper presents an overview of the results from the first major mesoscale atmospheric
campaign of the Large‐Scale Biosphere‐Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia (LBA) …

Abstract Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) and National
Centers for Environmental Prediction–National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP …

The purpose of this study is to develop and validate an algorithm for tracking and forecasting
radiative and morphological characteristics of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) …

Shallow clouds are prone to appear over deforested surfaces whereas deep clouds, much
less frequent than shallow clouds, favor forested surfaces. Simultaneous atmospheric …

The continental tropics play a leading role in the terrestrial energy, water, and carbon cycles.
Land–atmosphere interactions are integral in the regulation of these fluxes across multiple …

Most coupled general circulation models (GCMs) perform poorly in the tropical Atlantic in
terms of climatological seasonal cycle and interannual variability. The reasons for this poor …

The knowledge of mesoscale convective system (MCS) in the Asian monsoon region
remains still deficient due to the limited available data and less powerful algorithms. Here …
