Abstract

The article focuses on the use of a multimethod attribution analysis about the prolonged hydrometeorological drought in northeast Brazil from 2012-2016. It determines possible changes in the hydrometeorological hazard, which comprise the accumulated precipitation, the difference between precipitation and evaporation as well as its potential impact on two basin reservoirs inflows.
