The role of the Amazon Basin moisture in the atmospheric branch of the hydrological cycle: a Lagrangian analysis

We used a Lagrangian model (FLEXPART) together with the 1979–2012 ERA-Interim reanalysis data to investigate the role of the moisture in the Amazon Basin in the regional hydrological budget over the course of the year. FLEXPART computes budgets of evaporation minus precipitation by calculating chang...
