Spatial distribution of atmospheric pollutants and fire outbreaks in the Pantanal biome from 2016 to 2021.
Pantanal fires have a significant impact on the environment. Anthropogenic emissions of residual gases have changed the tropospheric composition in this region due to burning. This study aims to analyze the spatial patterns of atmospheric pollutants (including carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide ...

Projected changes in the frequency of compound hot and dry events over Tropical Brazil in CORDEX-CORE simulations.
Under global warming, extreme events have been increasing in the last decade and are projected to increase in the future with every increment of global warming. The potential increase in compound drought and hot events may induce a complex web of impacts on societies, ecosystems, and economies, incl...

Evaluation of the MPAS model for the numerical simulation of an extreme precipitation event over the Northeast Brazil occurred in July 2022.
The east coast of Northeast Brazil (ENEB) has experienced an increase in extreme precipitation events in recent years because of climate change caused by human activities. ENEB is characterized by the influence of several synoptic-scale systems throughout the year that contribute to the development ...

The Influence of the Amazonian Moisture Transport by the Aerial Rivers to the Water Budget at Southeastern Brazil Using Atmospheric Modelling and Re-analysis.
The moisture transport from Amazon forest is a great moisture source for the regional water cycle in South America (SA), especially at southeast and southern part including Parana and La Plata Basins. Several previous studies have shown this importance and how anthropic processes of either global wa...
