Heavy Rainfall Episodes in the Eastern Northeast Brazil Linked to Large-Scale Ocean-Atmosphere Conditions in the Tropical Atlantic
Figure 7
Daily time series of GPCP anomalies (mm·day−1) calculated over ENEB in 2004 (a), 2005 (b), and 2006 (c) from the climatic precipitation, averaged over the same region during the same calendar days for the period 1997–2006. The horizontal dashed line at 10 mm·day−1 represents the limit used to identify the strong precipitation episodes. The twelve selected events are marked by stars (see Table 1 and Figure 8). The tick marks on the -axis represent the first day of corresponding month.
