FRONTAL SYSTEMS CLIMATOLOGY OVER SOUTHEASTERN SOUTH AMERICA AND ASSOCIATED ATMOSPHERIC CIRCULATION IN A CLIMATE GCM SIMULATION Iracema FA Cavalcanti Luiz Henrique R. Coura da Silva Third Meeting of CoPis PROSUL/ IAI/CRN 055 Mar del Plata, Oct.2002
SOUTHEASTERN BRAZIL • LARGE DISPERSION AMONG MEMBERS • LOW PREDICTABILITY • OCCURRENCE OF ZCAS • SOUTHERN BRAZIL • SMALL DISPERSION • HIGHER PREDICTABILITY • FRONTAL SYSTEMS
CRITERIUM TO SELECT CASES OF FRONTAL SYSTEMS • SOUTHEASTERN: 20S-24S; 47W-43W • SOUTHERN: 25S-35S; 48W-58W • REDUCTION OF SPATIAL AVERAGE TEMPERATURE ABOVE A LIMIT VALUE IN 3 DAYS. • INCREASE OF SLP ABOVE A LIMIT VALUE IN 3 DAYS. • SOUTHEARLY MERIDIONAL WIND .
