Increased dry-season length over southern Amazonia in recent decades and its implication for future climate projection.
We have observed that the dry-season length (DSL) has increased over southern Amazonia since 1979, primarily owing to a delay of its ending dates (dry-season end, DSE), and is accompanied by a prolonged fire season. A poleward shift of the subtropical jet over South America and an increase of local convective inhibition energy in austral winter (June-August) seem to cause the delay of the DSE i...
متن کاملIncreased Wildfire Risk Driven by Climate and Development Interactions in the Bolivian Chiquitania, Southern Amazonia
Wildfires are becoming increasingly dominant in tropical landscapes due to reinforcing feedbacks between land cover change and more severe dry conditions. This study focused on the Bolivian Chiquitania, a region located at the southern edge of Amazonia. The extensive, unique and well-conserved tropical dry forest in this region is susceptible to wildfires due to a marked seasonality. We used a ...
متن کاملforecasting and assessment of climate change over iran during future decades by using magicc-scengen model
abstract in this paper, we modeled the climate of iran for future periods. each period is a 30-years period centered on a year. the range of periods is from 2000 (i.e., 1986-2015) to 2100 (i.e., 2086-2115). this was made using 2 general circulation models (echam4 and hadcm2) and 18 ipcc scenarios. magicc-scengen was used as a tool for downscaling gcm low resolution output data. result of hadcm2...
متن کاملA flood risk projection for Soleimantangeh Dam against future climate change
A sensitivity analysis of the flood safety of Solaimantangeh dam using a regional climate change simulation is presented. Based on the output of the CCSM (Community Climate Change System Model) general circulation model, the NIRCM (North of Iran Regional Climate Model) computes regional scale output with 50 km spatial resolution and 21 vertical layers. Using the SRES (Special Report Emission Sc...
متن کاملSize distribution and hygroscopic properties of aerosol particles from dry-season biomass burning in Amazonia
Aerosol particle number size distributions and hygroscopic properties were measured at a pasture site in the southwestern Amazon region (Rondonia). The measurements were performed 11 September–14 November 2002 as part of LBA-SMOCC (Large scale Biosphere atmosphere experiment in Amazonia – SMOke aerosols, Clouds, rainfall and Climate), and cover the later part of the dry season (with heavy bioma...
