AbstractEl Niño (EN) and La Niña (LN) episodes cause impacts in the precipitation over Southern Brazil. The impact on the frequency of extreme precipitation events is here regionally analysed. November is a period with increase of severe rain events in EN and reduction in LN. During July of the following year also occurs increase/reduction of extreme events in some areas. The precipitation and the number of extreme events in homogeneous areas with respect to significant increase or reduction of severe rain events show significant correlation with Sea Surface Temperature (SST) in some regions of the globe, mainly those affected by El Niño-Southern Oscilation (ENSO) episodes. Notwithstanding, lower-frequency variability is also associated with the variation of these extremes. The variation of the number of severe rain events between different EN and LN episodes seems to be associated with the variation of SST in certain regions. The most recurrent patterns of atmospheric circulation favoring the occurrence of extreme events are present in extreme events during both El Niño and La Niña episodes, as well as during neutral years. However, composites of monthly anomalies in EN and LN years, show that the large-scale favorable conditions for the occurrence of extreme events appear more during EN than during LN episodes. This explains the large difference between the frequency of those events during EN and LN episodes. Composites of anomalies show differences between EN years with more severe rain events and EN years with less of these events with respect to neutral years, mainly in the fields of global SST, vorticity advection at 500 hPa, geopotencial height at 850 hPa, streamfunction at sigma level 0.21 and divergence of vertically integrated moisture flux. These fields show patterns favorable to precipitation during the years with increase in the number of extreme events and unfavorable in years with reduction of these events. During November of EN years with more severe events than normal there is advection of ciclonic vorticity over Southern Brazil and positive SST anomaly in the equatorial East Pacific much more intense than that observed in years with less extreme events. When there is a reduction of extreme precipitation events in July of the year following the onset of an EN episode there are positive anomalies of geopotencial height at low levels and negative at high levels, indicating anomalous subsidence. Furthermore, there are significant negative SST anomalies in the equatorial East Pacific, while in years with more severe events this does not occurr.
