Extreme precipitation characteristics driven by atmosphere-oceanic modes in the Uruguay river basin based on convective-permitting model simulations (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Subtropical areas are sensitive climate transition regions that are affected by atmospheric oscillations linked to tropical heat sources and the stratosphere. In South America, we hypothesise that the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) is related to la...
