Monitoring the transport of biomass burning emissions in South America
Saulo R. Freitas,Karla Longo,Maria Assunção Faus da Silva Dias,Pedro Leite da Silva Dias,Robert B. Chatfield,E. M. Prins,Paulo Artaxo,Georg Grell,Fernando S. Recuero +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the atmospheric transport of biomass burning emissions in the South American and African continents is monitored annually using a numerical simulation of air mass motions; they use a tracer transport capability developed within RAMS (Regional Atmospheric Modeling System) coupled to an emission model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental Conditions Associated with Amazonian Squall Lines: A Case Study
TL;DR: The environmental conditions associated with squall lines (SL) that were observed during the period of 13 April-13 May 1987 (GTE/ABLE-2B) originating at the northern coast of South America and propagating over the Amazon Basin are documented in this paper.
Journal Article
Radar observations of the kinematic, microphysical, and precipitation characteristics of two MCSs in TRMM LBA : Large-scale biosphere-atmosphere experiment in Amazonia (LBA)
Robert Cifelli,Walter A. Petersen,Lawrence D. Carey,Steven A. Rutledge,Maria Assunção Faus da Silva Dias +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, dual-Doppler and polarimetric radar observations are used to analyze two mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) that occurred during the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere field campaign.

Modulation of convection in the southwestern Amazon basin by extratropical stationary fronts : Large-scale biosphere-atmosphere experiment in Amazonia (LBA)
Thomas M. Rickenbach,Rosana Nieto Ferreira,Jeffrey B. Halverson,Dirceu Luis Herdies,Maria Assunção Faus da Silva Dias +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that mesoscale convective systems in the SACZ regime were significantly larger in areal coverage, with weaker rainfall intensity and weaker vertical development of the convective cells.
