                         are analyzed in the framework of the CLARIS-LPB Project. A review 
                         of the studies developed during the project and results of 
                         additional research are presented and discussed. Specific aspects 
                         of analysis are focused on large-scale versus local processes 
                         impacts on the intensity and frequency of precipitation extremes 
                         over LPB, and on the assessment of specific wet and dry spell 
                         indices and their changed characteristics in future climate 
                         scenarios. The analysis is shown for both available observations 
                         of precipitation in the region and ad-hoc global and regional 
                         models experiments. The Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Oceans can 
                         all impact precipitation intensity and frequency over LPB. In 
                         particular, considering the Pacific sector, different types of 
                         ENSO events (i.e. canonical vs Modoki or East vs Central) have 
                         different influences. Moreover, model projections indicate an 
                         increase in the frequency of precipitation extremes over LPB 
                         during El Niño and La Nin{\~a} events in future climate. Local 
                         forcings can also be important for precipitation extremes. Here, 
                         the feedbacks between soil moisture and extreme precipitation in 
                         LPB are discussed based on hydric conditions in the region and 
                         model sensitivity experiments. Concerning droughts, it was found 
                         that they were more frequent in the western than in the eastern 
                         sector of LPB during the period of 19622008. On the other hand, 
                         observations and model experiments agree in that the monthly wet 
                         extremes were more frequent than the dry extremes in the northern 
                         and southern LPB sectors during the period 19792001, with higher 
                         frequency in the south.",
