Interhemispheric Influence of the Atlantic Warm Pool on the Southeastern Pacific

open access: yesJournal of Climate, 2010
Abstract The Atlantic warm pool (AWP) is a large body of warm water comprising the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, and western tropical North Atlantic. The AWP can vary on seasonal, interannual, and multidecadal time scales. The maximum AWP size is in the boreal late summer and early fall, with the largest extent in the year being about 3

Record-Breaking Rainfall in the Northern Amazon in Spring 2022 Tied to the Pacific and Atlantic Sea Surface Temperatures

open access: yesOcean-Land-Atmosphere Research
In the boreal spring of 2022, a record-breaking rainfall event occurred in the northern Amazon basin, causing major economic and property damage. Using observational datasets and sensitivity tests from the linear baroclinic model, this study shows that ...

Tropical Cyclone Rainfall Spatial Asymmetries in the Lesser Antilles

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Rainfall is not proportional to the Saffir‐Simpson wind‐based categories. Lower category tropical cyclones (TS, H1, H2 and H3) can generate more intense rainfall than H4 and H5. Rainfall is asymmetric; as a tropical cyclone intensifies or weakens, the location of peak rainfall shifts.

Spatiotemporal Evolution of Hydroclimatic Variables in the Brazilian Semi‐Arid Region Through the Aridity Index and Susceptibility to Desertification

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Over the past 60 years, noticeable changes have been observed in the main hydroclimatological variables, driven by both natural and anthropogenic factors. In the context of climate change, such behaviour may adversely affect the state's economic activities, as well as increase the recurrence of extreme events in the region.

Increased threat of strong typhoons along the Pacific coast of Japan: Combined effect of track change and seasonal advance

open access: yesAtmospheric Science Letters
This study analyses the landfall intensity of tropical cyclones (TCs) affecting the Pacific coast of Japan and found that the proportion of strong typhoons increased significantly in the second 22 years from 1977 to 2020.

Weather Patterns Associated With Coastal Disasters in Santa Catarina, Southern Brazil

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The study identified weather patterns (WPs) associated with coastal disasters between 1998 and 2020 along the Santa Catarina coast, Brazil. Using atmospheric and oceanographic data combined with official disaster records, five WPs were defined, mainly associated with cyclonic and anticyclonic systems linked to extreme wave events.
