Intra‐seasonal rainfall variability in the Amazon basin related to large‐scale circulation patterns: a focus on western Amazon–Andes transition region
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "International Journal of Climatology"
DOI: 10.1002/joc.5341
Abstract: This study aims to relate the intra-seasonal rainfall variability over the Amazon basin to atmospheric circulation patterns (CPs), with particular attention to extreme rainfall events in the Amazon–Andes region. The CPs summarize the intra-seasonal variability… read more here.
