Revisiting the zonally asymmetric extratropical circulation of the Southern Hemisphere spring using complex empirical orthogonal functions
The large-scale extratropical circulation in the Southern Hemisphere is much more zonally symmetric than that of the Northern Hemisphere, but its zonal departures, albeit highly relevant for regional impacts, ...

Relationship between sea surface temperature anomalies in the Southwestern Atlantic Continental Shelf and atmospheric variability on intraseasonal timescales
The intraseasonal (IS) variability of the sea surface temperature (SST) in the Southwestern Atlantic Continental Shelf (SWACS, 45–33° S—70–50° W), and its relationship with that in the atmosphere, was studied ...

Assessment of zonally symmetric and asymmetric components of the Southern Annular Mode using a novel approach
The Southern Annular Mode (SAM) is the main mode of variability in the Southern Hemisphere extra-tropical circulation and it is so called because of its zonally symmetric ring-like shape. However, the SAM patt...

Use of weather and climate information essential for SDG implementation
Owing to a lack of understanding, and data being unavailable, unusable or unsuitable, weather and climate information is currently underutilized in Sustainable Development Goal implementation. Improvements are...

Climate change impacts on the atmospheric circulation, ocean, and fisheries in the southwest South Atlantic Ocean: a review
We present an interdisciplinary review of the observed and projected variations in atmospheric and oceanic circulation within the southwestern South Atlantic focused on basin-scale processes driven by climate ...

Climate impacts of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation on South America
The climate of South America (SA) has long held an intimate connection with El Niño, historically describing anomalously warm sea-surface temperatures off the coastline of Peru. Indeed, throughout SA, precipit...

A correlated shortening of the North and South American monsoon seasons in the past few decades
Our observational analysis shows that the wet seasons of the American monsoon systems have shortened since 1978 due to correlated earlier retreats of the North American monsoon (NAM) and late onsets of the sou...

Open AccessRole of nerve growth factor and its TRKA receptor in normal ovarian and epithelial ovarian cancer angiogenesis
In normal ovarian function a controlled angiogenesis is essential. Several growth factors are involved in this process, such as the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and nerve growth factor (NGF). The ...

Open AccessHantavirus reservoir Oligoryzomys longicaudatus spatial distribution sensitivity to climate change scenarios in Argentine Patagonia
Oligoryzomys longicaudatus (colilargo) is the rodent responsible for hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in Argentine Patagonia. In past decades (1967–1998), trends of precipitation reduction and surface air temp...

Open AccessA high-resolution 43-year atmospheric hindcast for South America generated with the MPI regional model
An evaluation of the present-day climate in South America simulated by the MPI atmospheric limited area model, REMO, is made. The model dataset was generated by dynamical downscaling from the ECMWF-ERA40 reana...
