             abstract = "This article analyses the relations of the Atlantic multidecadal 
                         oscillation (AMO) and the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and 
                         their influence on the South American rainfall. The ENSO-related 
                         precipitation anomalous composites over South America show more 
                         (less) organized patterns with the significant anomalies occupying 
                         extensive (reduced) areas when ENSO and AMO are in the opposite 
                         (same) phase. The El Niño (La Niña) events in the cold (warm) AMO 
                         phase are, in general, stronger than those in the warm (cold) AMO 
                         phase. The strong El Niño (La Niña) events in the cold (warm) AMO 
                         phase are due to the presence of a negative (positive) 
                         inter-Pacific-Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST). The negative 
                         (positive) SST anomalies in the equatorial Atlantic reinforce the 
                         El Niño (La Niña) in the tropical Pacific through an anomalous 
                         Atlantic Walker circulation. In consequence, the ENSO-related 
                         precipitation anomalies over South America are more intense and 
                         with less horizontal structure under the existence of this 
                         connection between the climate variability of the tropical 
                         Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. As far as the authors know, the 
                         results presented here have not been discussed before and have 
                         important implications for regional climate monitoring, as well as 
                         for modelling studies. © 2013 Royal Meteorological Society.",
