Impact of Oceanic Oscillations in Annual Trends of Precipitation Extremes in the Paraíba do Sul River Basin Assessed Based on the PSL Daily Gridded Precipitation Dataset
Abstract:The waters of the Paraíba do Sul River supply around 15 million people, most of whom live in metropolitan regions of the state of Rio de Janeiro. Climate change alters its precipitation regime and can cause an increase in the occurrence of extreme hydrological events. The variability of precipitation results from the combined effects of the surface conditions of the oceans and the variations in the dynamics of atmospheric systems. This work aims to detect possible changes in the climatic extremes of precipitat… Show more
