THE IMPACT OF THE SOUTH ATLANTIC SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE ON SUMMER PRECIPITATION IN CENTRAL-EASTERN BRAZIL

The variability of the South Atlantic Ocean sea surface temperature (SST) changes the temperature gradient between land and ocean, generating significant changes in the climate of South America. Previous studies have shown that cold (warm) SST anomalies over the tropical South Atlantic are associate...

Description
Summary:The variability of the South Atlantic Ocean sea surface temperature (SST) changes the temperature gradient between land and ocean, generating significant changes in the climate of South America. Previous studies have shown that cold (warm) SST anomalies over the tropical South Atlantic are associated with dry (wet) years over northeastern Brazil
