Large scale features associated with strong frontogenesis in equivalent potential temperature in the South American subtropics east of the Andes

South American subtropics east of the Andes exhibit a region of intense climatological frontogenesis in equivalent potential temperature (EPT) in the December to March season, mostly produced by deformation of the wind field. The goal of this paper is to investigate the large scale features associat...
