Two phenomena that contribute to modulate rainfall interannuall variability over South America, and that have apparent links with SST anomalies (SSTA) over the tropical Atlantic are the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and the South Atlantic Convergence Zone (SACZ). Yet , the linkages of such convergence zones with SSTA are quite diverse, as the former seems to be strongly modulated by interhemispheric gradients of SSTA and the latter Shows negative correlations with SSTA locally. Such are the conclusions of two-tiered approaches to simulate rainfall variability using an Atmospheric General Circulation Model (AGCM) forced by prescribed SST fields globally. %8 december %N 3 %@secondarydate 20061201 %T Coupled ocean-atmosphere variability of the South American monsoon system %@secondarytype PRE PI %K oceans, atmosphere, South American, monsoon. %@visibility shown %@group DMD-INPE-MCT-BR %@e-mailaddress deicy@cptec.inpe.br %@copyholder SID/SCD %@secondarykey INPE-14728-PRE/9699 %@issn 1813-6478 %2 sid.inpe.br/mtc-m17@80/2007/05.31.18.22.24 %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %B Vamos Newsletter %P 11-15 %4 sid.inpe.br/mtc-m17@80/2007/05.31.18.22 %D 2006 %V * %A Nobre, Paulo, %@area MET
