                         tropics in South America are the most intense in the entire 
                         Southem Hemisphere, mainly due to the presence of the Andes. The 
                         incursions of tropical air into mid-latitudes occur on the eastem 
                         side of the Andes in two preferred regions. The first is located 
                         in the tropical latitudes, close to the mountains between 20 and 
                         300S, and the second region is a function of the position of South 
                         Atlantic Convergence Zone (SACZ). The variability of the 
                         meridional transport is larger on the lee side of the Andes, due 
                         to the channeling effect of the mountain range, which favors 
                         baroclinic activity and allows an active exchange of air masses in 
                         both senses, especially during winter. The relevance of the air 
                         mass transport is also evident on the precipitation and surface 
                         temperature fields.",
