             abstract = "The objective of this work was to evaluate the relationship 
                         between the vegetation cover and the spatial variability of 
                         rainfall over the Brazilian Amazon. Tropical Rainfall Measuring 
                         Mission (TRMM) data were used to estimate rainfall. In order to 
                         characterize the vegetation cover, the Enhanced Vegetation Index 
                         (EVI) was obtained from the Moderate Resolution Imaging 
                         Spectroradiometer (MODIS)/Terra MOD13Q1 product (Vegetation 
                         Indices 16-Day L3 Global 250m) in the period 2000-2010. The EVI 
                         datasets were submitted to principal component analysis (PCA) to 
                         evaluate the spatial behavior of the vegetation. Results derived 
                         from the inter-annual analysis of the TRMM data showed high 
                         spatial variability of rainfall among all analyzed years. They 
                         were consistent with the climatological patterns found for the 
                         region. Variations in rainfall were observed in specific areas and 
                         the time series analysis showed shifts in the start of the decline 
                         in precipitation (beginning of the dry season) between them. The 
                         PCA of the EVI data showed clear differences between the tropical 
                         forests and the savannas (Cerrados), including the agricultural 
                         land covers. The observed transitional gradient of vegetation 
                         cover from southeast to northwest was closely similar to the 
                         observed precipitation gradient. The methodology was adequate for 
                         the analysis of the spatial-temporal patterns of precipitation and 
                         of their relationships with the observed gradients in the 
                         Amazonian vegetation cover.",
