<b style="font-weight: bold; font-family: Helvetica;">TITLE: </b><span style="font-weight: 400; font-family: Helvetica;">The mystery of observed and simulated precipitation trends in Southeastern South America since the early 20th century</span><br style="font-weight: 400; font-family: Helvetica;">
<br style="font-weight: 400; font-family: Helvetica;">
<b style="font-weight: bold; font-family: Helvetica;">ABSTRACT: </b><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Southeastern South America (SESA), a region encompassing Paraguay, Southern Brazil, Uruguay, and northern Argentina, experienced a 23% increase in austral
summer precipitation from 1902-2022, one of the largest observed precipitation trends globally. There is little consensus on the drivers of the precipitation trend, but Atlantic multidecadal variability, stratospheric ozone depletion, and greenhouse gas emissions
stand out as key contributing factors. In this presentation, I will walk through my process of trying to understand first, what are the historical drivers of the SESA precipitation increase. And second, why do climate models struggle to simulate the observed
SESA precipitation trend? To address the first question, I explore simulations from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) Phases 3, 5, and 6 and find that not only do fully-coupled climate models simulate positive SESA precipitation trends that
are much weaker over the historical interval, but some models persistently simulate negative precipitation trends. In an attempt to understand this apparent model bias, and why climate models seem to miss the trend, I investigate one driver of SESA precipitation
variability: the South American low-level jet. I find that the SESA precipitation trend from 1951-2020 is partly attributable to jet intensification arising from both natural variability and anthropogenic forcing. </span></span></span></div>
