abstract = "Southeastern Brazil is a highly industrialized and populated
region which largely contributes to the country's economy. Extreme
precipitation over this region can cause floods and landslides
occurrences or lack of precipitation that can affect many sectors
of economy. The objective of this work is to identify atmospheric
characteristics associated with austral summer extreme
precipitation over part of Southeastern Brazil. The atmospheric
characteristics obtained from wet and dry composites suggest that
extreme precipitation was associated with anomalous circulation
over the region, forced by a PSA-like wavetrain intensified by the
Southern Annular Mode. Copyright (C) 2010 Royal Meteorological
