                         climate AGCM. The new atmospheric model includes new convective 
                         parameterization schemes. The model with triangular truncation T63 
                         and 28 levels and for 5 different initial conditions has been run 
                         for 7 years from September 2002 to September 2009, using the 
                         observed SST as boundary condition. The NCEP/NCAR reanalysis and 
                         TRMM data were used for comparison. The results show that the 
                         model simulates a intense precipitation over central Amazon and 
                         Central Brazil during the summer (December-January-February,DJF) 
                         similar to observations. The previous CPTEC AGCM has not been very 
                         successful in simulating convection well over Amazon. The 
                         extension of Amazon precipitation into South Atlantic Convergence 
                         Zone (SCAZ) and the upper and low-level circulation associated 
                         with the South American Summer Monsoon System (Bolivian High and 
                         Chaco Low) are also well simulated. However, the maritime 
                         component of the SACZ is underestimated. UR: South American
