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…
A two-month visit is proposed for Prof. Nicholas Hall, University of Toulouse, France to initiate collaboration on the use of an empirical-dynamical model of intermediate complexity to address problems related to regional climate variability and global teleconnections. Based on data analysis and theoretical work, some recent hypotheses concerning the relationship between the regional clim…

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…

Motions in the atmosphere can be associated with many physical phenomena, which have a wide variety of space and time scales. Very large-scale phenomena such as extratropical cyclones, planetary-scale waves, and slow meridional circulations that extend over thousands of kilometers are effective at transporting momentum, heat, and moisture horizontally between the tropics and the polar re…
Much of the precipitation around the globe is caused by mesoscale convective systems (MCSs). According to scientific literature, these systems are a major rainfall generating mechanisms over the Amazon Basin. Climate predictions and studies conducted until the moment show that climate change is imminent and accelerated by anthropogenic action. In this case, prevention and mitigation measu…
Researches on extreme precipitation and temperature events have great importance because of the consequences they have for the society and the economy. The scenarios of future projections released by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) indicate an increase of the frequency of extreme events in the near future, which highlights the importance of studying the phenomena that may…

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…
In analyzes conducted until now in the PhD project, it was found through analysis of linear correlations between SST anomalies in predetermined regions in the Atlantic Ocean and precipitation anomalies in southeastern Brazil, there is a relationship between dry extreme events and SST variability in the South Atlantic Ocean in winter (June, July and August).Analysis using the method of Sin…
