                         performed at CPTEC since January 1995. The model used for these 
                         predictions is a version of the COLA AGCM which was derived from 
                         the NCEP model (Kinter et al. 1988) and includes a sophisticated 
                         biosphere model (Xue et al. 1991). The horizontal resolution of 
                         the AGCM is T62 and there are 28 levels in the vertical 
                         (Cavalcanti et al. 1995). Predictions for the rainy season of 
                         Nordeste (Northeast of Brazil) in 1995 were discussed in Nobre et 
                         al. (1995). Seasonal predictions for DJF and MAM were shown in 
                         Cavalcanti et al. (1998a,b,1999). Results from simulations of the 
                         Nordeste rainy season of 1993and 1994 using observed monthly Sea 
                         Surface Temperature (SST) as boundary conditions and T42 L18 
                         resolution compared well with observed values of precipitation, 
                         and with NCEP reanalyses data (Cavalcanti et al. 1996). 
                         Precipitation anomalies in Nordeste (averaged area of 20S-120S; 
                         450W-350W) from a simulation of 11 years (1986 to 1996), using 
                         T42L18 resolution, reproduces much of the interannual variability 
                         in this region (Cavalcanti et al., 1998).",
