abstract = "The Espinha{\c{c}}o Mountains are considered one of the most
important centers of plant endemism in Brazil. These endemic
species are distributed along a landscape composed of several
environmental factors acting in different scales, such as the
regional climate and the topographical complexity. This study
analyzed, using remote sensing products, the spatial and temporal
distribution of precipitation and temperature patterns along the
southern Espinha{\c{c}}o Mountains, to subsidize future studies
on the interaction of biodiversity and climatic patterns. We used
the products CHIRPS (precipitation) and MODIS MOD11A2
(temperature) were used. We calculated the averages and extreme
values of each product. Well-defined latitudinal patterns for
precipitation were observed, as well as longitudinal patterns for
temperature, which were directly related to the South Atlantic
Convergence Zone and the Atlantic Tropical Mass, respectively. The
topography of the Espinha{\c{c}}o Mountains acted as a
temperature divisor, and showed evidence of acting as a local
orographic barrier for precipitation. This work provided the
visualization of these patterns through remote sensing products,
giving spatial continuity to the observed phenomena, extrapolating
the limited vision of observations in situ, common in studies of
this genre, which often masks the real regional climatic
conditions. Furthermore, this study provided an overview about the
close relations between climate and topography, showing the
influences of the relief on patterns of temperature and
precipitation. Those analyses can assist further investigations on
how species are distributed along topoclimate gradients in
tropical mountainous environments.",
