                         (HadRM3P) in describing the seasonal variability of the main 
                         climatological features over South America and adjacent oceans, in 
                         long-term simulations (30 years, 19611990). The analysis was 
                         performed using seasonal averages from observed and simulated 
                         precipitation, temperature, and lower- and upper-level 
                         circulation. Precipitation and temperature patterns as well as the 
                         main general circulation features, including details captured by 
                         the model at finer scales than those resolved by the global model, 
                         were simulated by the model. However, in the regional model, there 
                         are still systematic errors which might be related to the physics 
                         of the model (convective schemes, topography, and land-surface 
                         processes) and the lateral boundary conditions and possible biases 
                         inherited from the global model.",
