The ENSO-related precipitation anomalous composites over South America show more (less) organized patterns with the significant anomalies occupying extensive (reduced) areas when ENSO and AMO are in the opposite (same) phase. The El Niño (La Niña) events in the cold (warm) AMO phase are, in general, stronger than those in the warm (cold) AMO phase. The strong El Niño (La Niña) events in the cold (warm) AMO phase are due to the presence of a negative (positive) inter-Pacific-Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST). The negative (positive) SST anomalies in the equatorial Atlantic reinforce the El Niño (La Niña) in the tropical Pacific through an anomalous Atlantic Walker circulation. In consequence, the ENSO-related precipitation anomalies over South America are more intense and with less horizontal structure under the existence of this connection between the climate variability of the tropical Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. As far as the authors know, the results presented here have not been discussed before and have important implications for regional climate monitoring, as well as for modelling studies. © 2013 Royal Meteorological Society. %@mirrorrepository iconet.com.br/banon/2006/11.26.21.31 %N 1 %9 journal article %T How the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation (AMO) modifies the ENSO influence on the South American rainfall %@electronicmailaddress mary@cptec.inpe.br %@electronicmailaddress vinicius.capistrano@inpe.br %@nexthigherunit 8JMKD3MGPCW/3EUPEJL %@nexthigherunit 8JMKD3MGPCW/43SKC35 %@secondarytype PRE PI %K Atlantic multidecadal oscillation, ENSO, rainfall. %@archivingpolicy denypublisher denyfinaldraft %@usergroup administrator %@usergroup marcelo.pazos@inpe.br %@usergroup self-uploading-INPE-MCTI-GOV-BR %@e-mailaddress marcelo.pazos@inpe.br %@group DMD-CPT-INPE-MCTI-GOV-BR %@group CPT-CPT-INPE-MCTI-GOV-BR %@tertiarymark 8JMKD3MGP7W/3CGED4L %@secondarymark A1_CIÊNCIAS_AGRÁRIAS_I A1_ENGENHARIAS_I A1_CIÊNCIAS_AMBIENTAIS A1_GEOCIÊNCIAS A2_INTERDISCIPLINAR A2_BIODIVERSIDADE B1_CIÊNCIAS_BIOLÓGICAS_I %F scopus 2013-11 %@issn 0899-8418 %2 sid.inpe.br/mtc-m21b/2013/11.26.17.01.07 %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %B International Journal of Climatology %@versiontype publisher %P 162-178 %4 sid.inpe.br/mtc-m21b/2013/11.26.17.01.06 %@documentstage not transferred %D 2014 %V 34 %@doi 10.1002/joc.3674 %A Kayano, Mary Toshie, %A Capistrano, Vinicius Buscioli, %@dissemination WEBSCI; PORTALCAPES; COMPENDEX; SCOPUS. %@area MET
