  2. ANOMALOUS PRECIPITATION OVER SOUTH AMERICA • NATURAL CLIMATE VARIABILITY • ENSO CONDITIONS (EL NINO / LA NINA) • TELECONNECTIONS • INTRASEASONAL OSCILLATION • BEHAVIOUR OF SYNOPTIC SYSTEMS • BLOCKING SITUATIONS • ETC

  3. DROUGHT IN 2005 DROUGHT IN 1997/1998 DROUGHT IN 2000/2001

  4. THE QUESTION IS: WILL THE ANOMALIES CHANGE IN SCENARIOS OF CLIMATE CHANGE OVER SOUTH AMERICA? HOW THE INTENSITY OF NATURAL VARIABILITY CAN CHANGE IN THE FUTURE? MODELS

  9. EXPERIMENTS Increase from CO2= 286.05 ppm at 1% /year rate to doubling, then constant to year 280. Other gases cte from 1860 1% CO2 EXPERIMENT High degree of global economic development (means high concentration of greenhouse gases) (2000-2100) SRES A2 Considers all anthropogenic forcings during the period of 1860 to 2000 (140 years) 20TH CENTURYEXPERIMENT Forcings agents representative of 1860 conditions constant. Include all greenhouses gases (280 years) PRE-INDUSTRIAL EXPERIMENT

  10. PERIODS OF ANALYSIS • LAST 51 YEARS FROM EACH SIMULATION • DJF (S.H. SUMMER) • 20 CENTURY : 1949-1999 • SRES A2: 2048- 2098 OR 2049-2099

  13. PRE-INDUSTRIAL EXPERIMENT GFDL Difference between two periods in the pre-industrial experiment (year 71 to 280)- (year 11 to 70). The changes are very small, consistent with the absence of anthropogenic forcings.

  14. ANNUAL GFDL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN 1%CO2 AND 20th century EXPERIMENTS GFDL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN 1%CO2 AND PRE-INDUSTRIAL EXPERIMENT GFDL The impact on precipitation is seen in the region of South Atlantic Convergence Zone and Southeastern South America considering the two experiments.

  40. COLD AIR OUTBREAKS OVER SOUTH AMERICA • CNPq colaboration project Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil. • Objective: Identify frequency and intensity of extreme cold air outbreaks in the present climate and in the future. • Will the global warming affect the frequency and intensity of the cold air outbreaks?

  41. TEMPERATURE CHANGES (annual) GFDL 1% CO2 increase – preindustrial 1% CO2 increase – 20 century

  42. Frequency of cold air over Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay • Daily data at (925hPa), 850 hPa • SLP, meridional wind and Temperature • Average over areas • 52W-57W; 23S-28S (Brazil) • 52W-57W; 28S-33S (Uruguay) • 65-60W; 33-38S (Argentina)

  43. criterium • Temperature interval (0-2.5c , < 0c) • Reduction of temperature (5-8c; 8-10c; >10c) • Increase of SLP and southerly flow at 850hPa

  48. Temp. 850 hPa <00 c 1960-1990 Brazil 52W-57W 23S-28S FUTURE

  49. Next criterium • Calculate anomalies and analyze the extremes in each area. • Use SLP and meridional wind to get cases associated with frontal systems.
