Hydrological cycle, temperature, and land surface-atmosphere interaction in the la Plata Basin during summer: Response to climate change

The austral summer response (2071-2100 with respect to 1981-2010) in terms of precipitation, temperature, and evapotranspiration was analyzed over South America, with emphasis on the La Plata Basin (LPB), using an ensemble of regional climate models. Seasonal mean pre - cipitation increased over the...
