             abstract = "Severe hydrological droughts in the Amazon have generally been 
                         associated with strong El Niņo events. More than 100 years of 
                         stage record at Manaus harbour confirms that minimum water levels 
                         generally coincide with intense warming in the tropical Pacific 
                         sea waters. During 2005, however, the Amazon experienced a severe 
                         drought which was not associated with an El Niņo event. Unless 
                         what usually occurs during strong El Niņo events, when negative 
                         rainfall anomalies usually affect central and eastern Amazon 
                         drainage basin; rainfall deficiencies in the drought of 2005 were 
                         spatially constrained to the west and southwest of the basin. In 
                         spite of this, discharge stations at the main-stem recorded 
                         minimum water levels as low as those observed during the 
                         basin-wide 19961997 El Niņo-related drought. The analysis of river 
                         discharges along the main-stem and major tributaries during the 
                         drought of 20042005 revealed that the recession on major 
                         tributaries began almost simultaneously. This was not the case in 
                         the 19961997 drought, when above-normal contribution of some 
                         tributaries for a short period during high water was crucial to 
                         partially counterbalance high discharge deficits of the other 
                         tributaries. Since time-lagged contributions of major tributaries 
                         are fundamental to damp the extremes in the main-stem, an almost 
                         coincident recession in almost all tributaries caused a rapid 
                         decrease in water discharges during the 2005 event.",
