             abstract = "The hydrological aspects of the Amazon and the La Plata basins are 
                         interconnected through southward moisture transport performed by 
                         the Low-Level Jet east of the Andes and the South Atlantic 
                         Convergence Zone. Remote effects of sea surface temperature 
                         variability in the Pacific and the Atlantic are of varied 
                         periodicities, from multi-decadal to inter-annual time scales. 
                         Major oscillations thus far detected are Atlantic Multi-decadal 
                         Oscillation, Pacific Multi-decadal Oscillation, North Atlantic 
                         Oscillation, Atlantic Dipole, Antarctic Oscillation, and the El 
                         Nino Southern Oscillation. In the multi-decadal, inter-decadal and 
                         decadal time scales, the effects of climate variability over the 
                         hydrological processes that interconnect the Amazon and La Plata 
                         watersheds are felt predominantly in the South American Monsoon 
                         season, while on the inter-annual scale the effects vary along the 
                         year. The hydrological memory in Amazonian soils is also 
                         responsible for the inter-annual variability of hydrology of the 
                         Amazon Basin. Due to the effects of soil water on 
                         evapotranspiration, the hydrological memory can affect the supply 
                         of moisture to the La Plata Basin, influencing the inter-annual 
                         variability of this basin. The implications of the observed 
                         oscillations to the hydrological and climatological variability in 
                         the two basins are discussed and synthesized in this article. 
                         Hypotheses for future research are formulated.",
