                         greenhouse gases and deforestation on extreme precipitation events 
                         in the Amazon Basin, we carried out 4 numerical experiments with 
                         the regional Eta model forced from the initial and boundary 
                         conditions of the global HadGEM2-ES model: (1) control experiment 
                         (CTRL); (2) RCP8.5 scenario; (3) DEFOREST scenario; and (4) 
                         RCP8.5+DEFOREST scenario. To analyze changes in extreme rainy 
                         events associated with the increase in greenhouse gases, 
                         deforestation, and their combined effect, anomalies were 
                         calculated from the sensitivity and control experiments. In the 
                         RCP8.5 scenario, there was an increase in the maximum number of 
                         consecutive dry days (CDD), a reduction in the maximum number of 
                         consecutive wet days (CWD), a reduction in total annual 
                         precipitation (PRCPTOT), and an increase in the maximum 
                         precipitation accumulated in 5 consecutive days (RX5Day). The 
                         DEFOREST scenario evidenced an increased CDD, and a reduction in 
                         the other indices (CWD, PRCPTOT, and RX5Day). Furthermore, the 
                         RCP8.5+DEFOREST scenario exhibited an increased CDD, and a 
                         reduction in the other indices (CWD, PRCPTOT, and RX5Day), but 
                         with more intense increases and reductions than observed in the 
                         DEFOREST scenario. In general, towards the end of the 21st 
                         century, the 3 scenarios are projected to increase the drought
