                         duration of South American monsoon system (SAMS) for the period 
                         1956-2006. The mean beginning date was 10 October, whereas the 
                         mean end date was 6 April, and the mean duration was 174days. The 
                         beginning of SAMS showed a tendency to start earlier and the end 
                         date showed a tendency to delay; thus, the duration of SAMS showed 
                         a tendency to increase by about 7days in 10years. We found that 
                         the beginning and end dates of SAMS have significant positive 
                         correlation with sea surface temperature (SST) of an earlier 
                         period at southwest Africa in the South Atlantic Ocean. This 
                         suggests the potential of SST in the prediction of the beginning 
                         and end dates of SAMS.",
