<span>Land use change over Amazon Forest and its impact on the climate</span>

Abstract: This study describes the physical processes associated with the impact of the Amazon (AMZ) deforestation on the climate in the north-northwest sector of South America (SA). Two simulations with RegCM4, from 1979 to 2009, were carried out: one using a default land cover map (CTRL) and other one using deforestation scenario (LUC), i.e., all broadleaf evergreen trees tropical were changed by C3 grass. RegCM4 was integrated with a horizontal grid spacing of about 50 km and considering 18 sigma-pressure vertical le… Show more
