                         (1) influence with a range of four to eleven dry months per year. 
                         Here, the Atlantic equatorial air masses from the northeast and 
                         southeast (trade winds) dominate. The eastern part, basically 
                         following the extent of the Atlantic Forest biome, is typical for 
                         the tropical littoral climate of the oriental northeast (2) with 
                         one to seven months of dry season. Again, equatorial air masses 
                         from the Atlantic Ocean dominate. The central southern part, and 
                         the second largest area shows a tropical humid to dry climate (3), 
                         also referred to as the tropical climate of Central Brazil. Four 
                         to eight months of drought characterize the region, and air masses 
                         from the southern Central Atlantic Ocean dominate, coming mainly 
                         from south-easterly directions (Nimer 1989; Mendon{\c{c}}a \&
