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?
TEMPERATURE CHANGES (annual) GFDL 1% CO2 increase – preindustrial 1% CO2 increase – 20 century
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)
criterium • Temperature interval (0-2.5c , < 0c) • Reduction of temperature (5-8c; 8-10c; >10c) • Increase of SLP and southerly flow at 850hPa
