abstract = "Cold and humid air masses moving northward originated from
cyclones in the Weddell and Bellingshausen Seas at low
tropospheric levels reach lower latitudes, down to ~10S, causing
steep temperature decreases and rain, mainly in the coastal areas
of SE South America. Such air intrusions are frequent and their
frequency and intensity cause specific seasons to depart the
regional climatology. This paper presents case examples of this
unique circulation and explains its effects in the climate
variations in SE South America during the last five years. In
particular, the average monthly position of the sub-polar jet
stream is analyzed, indicating how it relates to the
south-to-north air surface flow.",
