It can<br \/>\npredict climate scenarios based on data collected in Brazil (<i>see<\/i> <i>Pesquisa FAPESP<\/i> Issue No. 177). According to Paulo Nobre, researcher at the National Institute for Space Research (Inpe) and one of the project&#8217;s coordinators, the new model has already enabled improvements to be made in precipitation forecasts, to name just one example. \u201cThere was a generalized increase in forecast quality, both for South Atlantic surface water temperatures and for temperatures in South America,\u201d he said. An additional result was the research group\u2019s finding that deforestation in the Amazon increases the likelihood of El Ni\u00f1o (a phenomenon that involves abnormal warming of surface waters in tropical regions of the Pacific Ocean, affecting regional and global climates). \u201cThe model produced this outcome despite its being a preliminary, low resolution version,\u201d said Paulo Nobre. The model is being developed by researchers from several institutions, in addition to members of the FAPESP Research Program on Global Climate Change, the Brazilian Network for Research on Global Climate Change (Rede Clima), and the National Institute of Science and Technology for Climate Change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Brazilian climate model","protected":false},"author":475,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[162],"tags":[],"coauthors":[785],"class_list":["post-115453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-strategies"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115453","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/475"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115453"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115453\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115453"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115453"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115453"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=115453"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
