                         (SAMS) were determined based on a monsoon rainfall index (MRI) for 
                         the three wettest months. The precipitation composite for active 
                         cases shows a pattern similar to the average summer rainfall. The 
                         wind circulation composite presents a strong northwesterly flow 
                         from the western Amazon to southeastern Brazil. During the active 
                         (break) periods, an intense (weak) moisture flux convergence 
                         occurs over the Amazon basin, southeastern and central-western 
                         Brazil. The intense moisture convergence over these regions during 
                         the active periods is a typical feature of the South Atlantic 
                         convergence zone (SACZ) system. Copyright. (C) 2011 Royal
