                         extreme precipitation that are responsible for floods or droughts 
                         which have a large impact in sectors as agriculture and 
                         ydrological resources besides the damages in roads and towns. 
                         Cases of landslides in mountain areas also happen associated with 
                         the extremes. These two regions have opposite behavior already 
                         seen in several observational studies (Nogues-Paegle and Mo, 1997, 
                         Cunningham and Cavalcanti, 2006). The atmospheric features 
                         associated with convection in these regions are associated with 
                         the Pacific South America (PSA) pattern, which is the main 
                         tropical extratropical teleconnection in the Southern Hemisphere. 
                         In the summer, this pattern has influence on South Atlantic 
                         Convergence Zone (SACZ), as discussed in Cunningham and Cavalcanti 
                         (2006), Carvalho et al (2004). The objective of this study is to 
                         analyze the Southern Hemisphere features associated with extreme 
                         precipitation over La Plata Basin and southeastern Brazil in a 
                         longrange simulation with an AGCM and CGCMs to verify the ability 
                         of the models in representing the associated teleconnections 
                         identified in observations, in a seasonal variability scale.",
