Abstract:<p>Southern Brazil is in a transitional zone between tropical and extratropical climates. The rainfall regime in such transitional zones can be rather sensitive to climate change and related expansion of the tropics in the Southern Hemisphere. It is expected that rainfall will increase up to 30% over this area in the next decades. It is important, however, to investigate if the mechanisms that generate rainfall are simulated correctly in the models to know when downscaling and bias correction met… Show more
