Synoptic patterns of extreme precipitation events in Northeast Brazil.
Northeast Brazil (NEB) is one of the driest regions in the country, with some areas, such as the sertão, receiving less than 400 mm/year. Despite this aridity, NEB is influenced by various synoptic-scale systems that contribute to intense rainfall events throughout the year. This study aimed to ide...

A physical parameterization for cloudy-sky downward longwave radiation: Validation for tropical and subtropical regions in Brazil.
Downward longwave radiation is a crucial component of the surface radiation balance and is essential for a better understanding of the greenhouse effect. It is strongly influenced by atmospheric temperature, water vapor content, and cloudiness. This study proposes a new model to estimate downward l...

Degradation and deforestation increase the sensitivity of the amazon forest to climate extremes.
About 40% of the Brazilian Amazon has been deforested or suffered changes in forest structure through degradation (selective logging, fires, and fragmentation). The impact of forest degradation on the forests sensitivity to climate extremes has not been fully explored because of a lack of data and t...
