                         enhanced fire frequency. This episode was caused by the 
                         combination of 2002-03 El Nino and a dry spell in 2005 
                         attributable to a warm subtropical North Atlantic Ocean. Analysis 
                         for 1979-2005 reveals that the Atlantic influence is comparable to 
                         the better-known Pacific linkage. While the Pacific influence is 
                         typically locked to the wet season, the 2005 Atlantic impact 
                         concentrated in the Amazon dry season when its hydroecosystem is 
                         most vulnerable. Such mechanisms may have wide-ranging
