AbstractThe diurnal cycle of precipitation over the region of South America is examined using high spatial and temporal resolution analyses that have been produced by NOAAs Climate Prediction Center morphing technique (CMORPH) (Joyce et al. 2004). The 8-km spatial resolution (at the equator) and 30-minute temporal resolution of these analyses permit an in-depth look at the diurnal cycle of precipitation. Major features of the summertime diurnal cycle, as depicted by CMORPH for the South American Monsoon, include an afternoon maximum in precipitation over the Andes and the high terrain in central and eastern Brazil, a nocturnal maximum in precipitation over areas just east of the Andes (western Argentina, central Bolivia and western Paraguay), and a nocturnal maximum over the Atlantic Ocean in the vicinity of the South Atlantic Convergence Zone (Fig. 1). A remarkable diurnal cycle in precipitation occurs in coastal areas of northern and northeastern South America. With daytime heating, precipitation rapidly develops along and just inland from the coast (Fig. 1, lower left panel), probably related to the sea breeze. This precipitation advances westward and southward, producing a nocturnal maximum in areas approximately 500 km inland from the coast. The inland propagation of sea-breeze-induced rainfall systems is a feature most frequently found during late SH summer (December-February) and fall (March-May). The seasonal average diurnal cycle for equatorial South America (Eq. 5ºN) for March-May 2003 indicates that sea-breeze-induced precipitation systems propagate westward, reaching the western Amazon Basin in about two days. As these systems propagate inland they contribute to a nocturnal precipitation maximum in some areas and a diurnal precipitation maximum in other areas. A nocturnal or early morning precipitation maximum also occurs along the immediate coast and offshore in the vicinity of the Atlantic ITCZ and over the Pacific near the west coast of South America. The seasonality of the diurnal cycle will also be included in this presentation.
