We evaluated convection-allowing ensemble forecasts using MPAS of 24 derecho events to understand when and why the model fails at derecho prediction.
Ribeiro et al. 2024, Weather and Forecasting.
We assessed derecho predictability using SPC Convective Outlooks and analyzed the main differences between derechos with higher and lower predictability.
An Analysis of the 3 May 2020 Low-Predictability Derecho Using a Convection-Allowing MPAS Ensemble
Ribeiro et al. 2022, Weather and Forecasting
We analyzed convection-allowing ensemble forecasts using MPAS to understand what factors were associated with low operational predictability of the 3 May 2020 derecho.

The GOES-16 1-minute scans are evaluated against 5-, 10- and 15-minute scans for nowcasting of a hailstorm in Southeastern Brazil.
Ribeiro and Seluchi 2018, International Journal of Climatology
Quasi-linear convective systems were quantified using radar imagery and composites of QLCS environments were constructed using reanalysis.
Elevated Mixed Layers and Associated Severe Thunderstorm Environments in South and North America
Ribeiro and Bosart 2018, Monthly Weather Review
Elevated mixed layers in South America are quantified using a reanalysis dataset and compared to the elevated mixed layers in North America.
Synoptic climatology of warm fronts in Southeastern South America
Ribeiro et al. 2016, International Journal of Climatology
A climatology of warm fronts in Southeastern South America was made using reanalysis dataset and the equivalent potential temperature gradient as a proxy for a warm front. Warm fronts are common in this region and often precede heavy rain events.
