Precipitation recycling in the Amazon basin [PDF]

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 1994
Abstract Precipitation recycling is the contribution of evaporation within a region to precipitation in that same region. The recycling rate is a diagnostic measure of the potential for interactions between land surface hydrology and regional climate. In this paper we present a model for describing the seasonal and spatial variability

Amplified seasonal cycle in hydroclimate over the Amazon river basin and its plume region

Nature Communications, 2020
The hydroclimatic variations of the Amazon River basin can exert profound impacts on the marine ecosystem in the Amazon plume region. Here the authors show that an amplified seasonal cycle of Amazonia precipitation during 1979–2018 leads to enhanced ...

Polychromatism of populations of Corallus hortulanus (Squamata: Boidae) from the southern Amazon Basin, Brazil [PDF]

Acta Amazonica, 2015
The Amazon tree boa Corallus hortulanus is known for featuring a wide variation in color pattern and design markings. Although there are studies on its polychromatism, none of them addresses the geographic variation in the color pattern of this species ...

Shifting Patterns of Precipitation Extremes in the Southeast Atlantic Basin—Brazil: From Observed Trends to Future Projections

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Observed trends and EC‐Earth3 climate model projections demonstrate expressive changes in the Southeast Atlantic Hydrographic Basin, Brazil. Significant increases in rainfall intensity and dry spell duration in the present climate are followed by projected amplification of extreme precipitation under future warming, particularly under the SSP5‐8.5 ...

Land‐Atmosphere Interactions During Onset and Demise of the Rainy Season Over West‐Central Brazil

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The onset of the South American Monsoon is largely controlled by the local evaporative regime and by antecedent soil moisture conditions. The demise of the South American Monsoon is controlled by large‐scale atmospheric circulation and by the local radiative balance, with only weak contributions from land–surface feedback.

Characterization of cocoa butter diversity in Theobroma cacao L. in Trinidad.: implications for genetic improvement and chocolate quality

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Cocoa butter, the lipid fraction of Theobroma cacao L. seeds, is essential for chocolate quality and functionality, yet the full extent of natural variation in cocoa butter traits across cacao genetic diversity remains poorly characterized.

Morphological and DNA Barcoding Evidence Confirms the Presence of Semaprochilodus taeniurus (Prochilodontidae) in the Peruvian Amazon Basin

: Semaprochilodus taeniurus (Valenciennes 1821) are known to inhabit the middle and lower regions of the Amazon basin. This study presents the first record of this species in the Peruvian Amazon, in the Lizardo stream, a tributary of the Putumayo River ...
