             abstract = "The Low Level Jet East of the Andes (LLJ) represents a mesoscale 
                         circulation feature located to the East of the Andes, and which 
                         maximum speed is on the first 2 km in the vertical. The LLJ brings 
                         moisture from the Amazon basin into the La Plata basin, and seems 
                         to be stronger in summer, producing rainfall in the southeaster 
                         South American region. We present some results of the SALLJEX 
                         field Campiagn of summer 2003, expl,aining some of the opbserved 
                         features of the LLJ, as well as upper and low-level circulation 
                         for seasonal means and SALLJ composites during the warm and cold 
                         seasons. On the circulation characteristics, SALLJ composites 
                         during the warm season show the enhanced low-level meridional 
                         moisture transport coming from equatorial South America as well as 
                         an upper level wave train emanating from the West Pacific 
                         propagating towards South America. The intensification of the warm 
                         season LLJ obeys to the establishment of an upper-level ridge over 
                         southern Brazil and a trough over most of Argentina. The 
                         circulation anomalies at upper and lower levels suggest that the 
                         intensification of the LLJ would lead to an intensification of the 
                         South Atlantic Convergence Zone SACZ later on, and to a 
                         penetration of cold fronts with an area of enhanced convection 
                         ahead at the exit region of the LLJ.",
