                         identify and to characterize the dry extreme events in the Amazon 
                         region. The results showed that the drought of 1998 was the most 
                         intense (SPI average equal to \−1.69) in the period from 
                         1979 to 2014. However, some papers have characterized the years 
                         2005 and 2010 as the two largest droughts of the century. Thus, it 
                         was also carried out a comparative study of these droughts. The 
                         results showed that the drought 1998 was more intensive and 
                         extreme than the droughts of 2005 and 2010, although droughts of 
                         2005 and 2010 lasted longer than 1998 due to oceanic and 
                         atmospheric conditions with influencing to cause greater social 
                         and economic impacts. Furthermore, it is suggested that the impact 
                         of the 2005 and 2010 droughts is a response from the dry occurred 
                         in 1993-1994 and 1997-1998.",
