Climate change hotspots over South America: from CMIP3 to CMIP5 multi-model datasets
Abstract: This study identifies possible hotspots of climate change in South America through an examination of the spatial pattern of the Regional Climate Change Index (RCCI) over the region by the end of the twenty-first century. The RCCI is a qualitative index that can synthesize a large number...

Uncertainty assessments of climate change projections over South America
Abstract: This paper assesses the uncertainties involved in the projections of seasonal temperature and precipitation changes over South America in the twenty-first century. Climate simulations generated by 24 general circulation models are weighted according to the reliability ensemble averaging...

Case Studies of Easterly Wave Disturbances over Northeast Brazil Using the Eta Model
Abstract: This research aims to analyze two easterly wave disturbance events that reached the east coast of Northeast Brazil (NEB) on 15 May 2005 and 20 June 2006. The performance of the regional Eta Model was evaluated through four sets of experiments using different horizontal resolutions (10 and...

Future change of climate in South America in the late twenty-first century: intercomparison of scenarios from three regional climate models
Abstract : Regional climate change projections for the last half of the twenty-first century have been produced for South America, as part of the CREAS (Cenarios REgionalizados de Clima Futuro da America do Sul) regional project. Three regional climate models RCMs (Eta CCS,RegCM3 and HadRM3P) were...
