The present study aims to understand how anthropogenic activities affect extratropical cyclones in South America and the Atlantic Ocean in a future climate. In particular, we intend to analyze the changes in wind and precipitation extremes associated with cyclogenesis. Specifically, we intend to verify the role of moisture transport from the Amazon in the development of extratropical cycl…
The Amazon Basin, centered in Brazil, has the largest tropical rainforest on Earth, storing about 15% of the total global biomass carbon pool. The Amazon forests remove 0.4 Pg C y-1 from the atmosphere, about 4% of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions each year. Evapotranspiration by the Amazon forest provides a steady flow of water vapor to the atmosphere, acting as a major water vapor…
There is evidence that rapid global climate instability and land-use change is contributing towards the increased migration of mosquitoes from the sub-tropical regions of sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle-East into temperate zone areas. This phenomenon has contributed to the increased potential of vector-borne disease - transmitted by various mosquito species such as Aedes aegypti, Aedes …
The proposed research aims at a better understanding of the interannual variability of the heat content and meridional transports across 34.5S, a zonal section referred as SAMBA (the South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (SAMOC) Basin-wide Array). It will investigate impacts of global changes on the ocean and the feedback of changes in the South Atlantic Circulation on the Reg…

Most of southern Africa (SAF), defined here as African subcontinent poleward of 10°S, experiencesgenerally rainfall during austral summer months (October-March) with a seasonal peak thatresembles monsoonlike regime occurring between December and February (DJF) months. However,monsoon rainfall, which is the lifeblood for the key economic sectors (e.g., agriculture andhydroelectric power) i…
Climate projections indicate a continuous increase in air temperature and a reduction inprecipitation over the Amazon basin until the end of this century. But what will actually causethe reduction (and how) in precipitation is not very well understood. What is known is that oneof the main meteorological systems causing precipitation in the Amazon basin, the mesoscaleconvective systems (MC…
As a result of the recent climate changes, mosquito-borne diseases (like Zika, Dengue) are becoming endemic not only in sub-tropical regions of Africa and Latin America but in other parts of the world. This project will combine public health, mobile technology and climate modelling to evaluate the impacts of environmental changes on water providing breeding habitats for mosquitoes in Nort…
It is unquestionable that large-scale changes are driven by oceanic variability. The Atlantic Ocean in particular is of great importance to the global climate change. In order to improve our understanding of the ocean-atmosphere interaction, the aim of this study is to investigate the possible effect of the local variations in the Sea Surface Temperature (SST) of the Southwestern Atlantic…
In the last decades some changes of certain properties of the Atlantic Ocean, such as Sea Surface Temperature (SST), salinity and heat exchanges with the atmosphere, especially in the southern hemisphere have been verified. Thus, important forms of interaction between the ocean-atmosphere on a climate scale such as the principal mode of coupled variability of the Atlantic Ocean, known as …

To understand the impact of climate change on mesoscale convective systems (MCSs), we need to understand how the environment where they are generated influences them. That is, it is crucial to understand the dynamic and thermodynamic atmospheric patterns associated with the occurrence of MCSs in the present climate to advance the understanding of future climate conditions using climate ch…
Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) occur spread around world, being associated to very strong thunderstorms, vertical heat transferring, and large amounts of precipitation, among others. Precipitation is fundamental for the ecosystems equilibrium over the Amazon basin, the major watershed in the globe. The climate change is imminent and accelerated by human beings. In this case, preventi…
Through anomalous upper tropospheric divergence, changes in the Hadley Circulation (HC) are connected to alterations in the generation of Rossby waves that propagate into the extra-tropics. Many studies identified that a robust HC response to an increase in the anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions is a weakening and a poleward expansion of this circulation. Changes in the location, inte…
