                         (the ICTP RegCM3 and the climate version of the CPTEC Eta model 
                         EtaClim) in simulating the summer quasi-stationary circulations 
                         over South America during two extreme cases: the 19971998 El Niņo 
                         and 19981999 La Niņa. The results showed that both the models are 
                         successful in simulating the interannual variability of summer 
                         quasi-stationary circulation over South America. Both the models 
                         simulated the intensification of subtropical jet stream during the 
                         El Niņo event, which favoured the blocking of transient systems 
                         and increased the precipitation over south Brazil. The models 
                         simulated the increase (decrease) of precipitation over north 
                         (west) Amazonia during the La Niņa (El Niņo) event. The upper 
                         level circulation is in agreement with the simulated distribution 
                         of precipitation. In general, the results showed that both the 
                         models are capable of capturing the main changes of the summer 
                         climate over South America during these two extreme cases and 
                         consequently they have potential to predict climate anomalies.",
