A possible deforestation-induced synoptic-scale circulation that delays the rainy season onset in Amazonia

Luiz Felipe Sant'Anna Commar et al.

Summary: The physical hydroclimate system of the Amazon operates on different spatial and temporal scales, and is influenced by large-scale processes as well as mesoscale processes. Deforestation can result in a synoptic-scale circulation that delays the onset of the rainy season in southern Amazonia by up to 30-40 days compared to the historical period. This circulation, driven by extensive deforestation patterns, may last for as long as two months and have significant consequences for local ecosystems, agriculture, and power generation.

Regional climate modeling of the diurnal cycle of precipitation and associated atmospheric circulation patterns over an Andean glacier region (Antisana, Ecuador)

C. Junquas et al.

Summary: A multi-experiment ensemble using the WRF model was conducted in the Antisana glacier region in Ecuador to identify the best model configurations for simulating atmospheric processes. The model successfully reproduced the complex precipitation gradient between the Amazon and Andean regions, but showed overestimation in the afternoon and at night. Changing the microphysics and cumulus schemes primarily affected nighttime processes, while altering topography forcing and radiation options mainly impacted afternoon processes. Based on the findings, a 1-km resolution configuration with activated cumulus scheme was determined to be the best choice for accurate representation of cloud convection in the region.

Deforestation impacts on Amazon-Andes hydroclimatic connectivity

Juan Pablo Sierra et al.

Summary: Deforestation in the Amazon has negative impacts on the hydrological and energetic balances in the region, leading to reductions in surface net radiation, evaporation, moisture convergence, and precipitation. Particularly during the austral summer, deforestation increases atmospheric subsidence, weakens the regional Hadley cell, and affects rainfall and atmospheric circulation in the Amazon-Andes transition region.

Valley-Mountain Circulation Associated with the Diurnal Cycle of Precipitation in the Tropical Andes (Santa River Basin, Peru)

Alan G. Rosales et al.

Summary: This study aims to understand the atmospheric processes of precipitation in the Santa River basin between the Blanca and Negra mountain ranges. The simulation results show that moisture from the Pacific Ocean and moisture fluxes from the Amazon basin play a significant role in the diurnal cycle of precipitation in the basin.

Challenges Regionalizing Methane Emissions Using Aquatic Environments in the Amazon Basin as Examples

John M. Melack et al.

Summary: The key challenges to regionalization of methane fluxes in the Amazon basin include the seasonal variation in inundated areas and habitats, the wide variety of aquatic ecosystems, and the variability in methane fluxes. This study evaluates the adequacy of sampling and field methods, summarizes published fluxes and regional estimates, and discusses the current understanding of biogeochemical and physical processes in Amazon aquatic environments. It also provides recommendations for further study, such as using remote sensing techniques and developing models appropriate for hydrological and ecological conditions.

Circulation Patterns and Associated Rainfall Over South Tropical South America: GCMs Evaluation During the Dry-To-Wet Transition Season

M. E. Olmo et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the representation of atmospheric circulation over South Tropical South America (STSA) by a set of 16 general circulation models (GCMs). The models adequately reproduce different circulation patterns, but show lower skills during the transition seasons. Some GCMs are able to associate precipitation variability with specific circulation patterns. The study identifies several GCMs that can effectively simulate the circulation patterns in STSA.

Evaluation of multiple indices of the South American monsoon

Isabel C. Correa et al.

Summary: This article evaluates multiple methods for estimating the onset and demise of the South American Monsoon System (SAMS) during 1979-2018, showing a delayed onset date and stable demise date. The shortening of the SAMS primarily depends on variations at the onset stage, while different indices exhibit sensitivity to the spatial domain considered for SAMS characterization.

Assessing precipitation extremes (1981-2018) and deep convective activity (2002-2018) in the Amazon region with CHIRPS and AMSU data

Beatriz M. Funatsu et al.

Summary: The frequency and spatial distributions of precipitation extremes and deep convective clouds in the Amazon region were assessed using satellite data. It was found that in the northern region, precipitation extremes and deep convective clouds are more frequent from February to June, while in the southern region, they are more prevalent from November to March. Precipitation extremes were found to be correlated with vertically integrated moisture divergence, and in the southern region, also with upper level divergence and vertical velocity.

Present-day and future climate over central and South America according to CMIP5/CMIP6 models

Geusep Ortega et al.

Summary: In tropical regions, particularly in Central and South America, climate seasonality projections under climate change remain uncertain. Models show moderately accurate simulations of precipitation and temperature on the continents but exhibit systematic biases over oceans, with better performance during certain seasons. Despite some improvements in CMIP6 models, biases still exist in simulating regional precipitation patterns and annual cycles. Projections suggest decreasing precipitation in most regions, while there is a general consensus on persistent warming for temperature, with an average increase of 6 degrees Celsius by the end of the century according to CMIP6 models.
