                         Surface Temperature (SST) over the tropical and South Atlantic 
                         Ocean and the equatorial Pacific Ocean. Two phenomena that 
                         contribute to modulate rainfall interannuall variability over 
                         South America, and that have apparent links with SST anomalies 
                         (SSTA) over the tropical Atlantic are the Intertropical 
                         Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and the South Atlantic Convergence Zone 
                         (SACZ). Yet , the linkages of such convergence zones with SSTA are 
                         quite diverse, as the former seems to be strongly modulated by 
                         interhemispheric gradients of SSTA and the latter Shows negative 
                         correlations with SSTA locally. Such are the conclusions of 
                         two-tiered approaches to simulate rainfall variability using an 
                         Atmospheric General Circulation Model (AGCM) forced by prescribed
