ABSTRACT The Transbrasiliano‐Kandi‐4°50′ (TK4) shear zone in western Gondwana crosscuts South America and NW Africa for at least 6000 km. Despite its impressive size, the timing of the main episode of dextral ductile shearing is uncertain. We present detailed in situ multi‐mineral geochronology of mylonites from both Brazil and Algeria supporting that ...

Hemispheric Synoptic Patterns Control Rainfall and Long‐Range Aerosol Transport in the Amazon
Abstract The transatlantic transport of dust and smoke aerosols from Africa to South America is a large‐scale, year‐round process that affects atmospheric and nutrient cycling in the Amazon rainforest. We analyze daily variations in black carbon at the Amazon Tall Tower Observatory (ATTO) to investigate how Atlantic synoptic‐scale meteorology ...

A Dynamical Model for the Shallow‐to‐Deep Transition of Amazonian Moist Atmospheric Convection
Abstract The development of deep convection and the timing of storm convection initiation over land are generally poorly represented by weather and climate models, probably due to the poor representation of the interaction between shallow and deep convection.
