Analyzing the influence of the North Atlantic Ocean variability on the Atlantic meridional mode on decadal time scales.
Important features of the Atlantic meridional mode (AMM) are not fully understood. We still do not know what determines its dominant decadal variability or the complex physical processes that sustain it. Using reanalysis datasets, we investigated the influence of the North Atlantic Ocean variability...- por Portal Padrão

When climate change is not blamed: the politics of disaster attribution in international perspective.
Analyzing the politics and policy implications in Brazil of attributing extreme weather events to climate change, we argue for greater place-based sensitivity in recommendations for how to frame extreme weather events relative to climate change. Identifying geographical limits of current recommendat...- por Portal Padrão

Global fire season severity analysis and forecasting.
Fire activity has a huge impact on human lives. Different models have been proposed to predict fire activity, which can be classified into global and regional ones. Global fire models focus on longer timescale simulations and can be very complex. Regional fire models concentrate on seasonal forecast...- por Portal Padrão

The storm tracks response to changes in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentration at the south of Brazil and southwest Atlantic Ocean.
Here we investigate the ocean-atmosphere coupling and the contribution of the Sea Surface Temperature (SST) variations in: 1) Brazil-Malvinas Confluence (BMC) region, 2) Southwest Atlantic Ocean and 3) Southern Brazil. Numerical simulations of the ECHAM5/MPI-OM coupled ocean-atmosphere model were us...- por Portal Padrão
