| Abstract | Extending meridionally from l0ºN to 60ºS, South America (SA) presents features of tropical, subtropical, and extratropical weather and climate. This continent lies between the two large oceans, the Pacific and the Atlantic, and as such there is a great influence of these oceans on the meteorology of this landmass. The regional circulation characteristics over SA can only be appreciated by refer- ring to the effects of these two oceans. An important and distinct geographical feature of the continent is the pres- ence of a steep and narrow mountain range extending all the way fiom the northern tip to the southern tip along the west coast. Another important feature is the tropical Ama- zon jungle, occupying about 35% of the total continental area and 65% of the tropical area. With one of the world's most humid climates, this tropical forést makes the conti- nent very unique. This region also contains some of the infamous deserts and arid regions, such as the Atacama desert in northern Chile and northeastern Brazil (NEB). The regional atmospheric circulation over SA presents many interesting characteristics, such as the Bolivian high, the SACZ, the Choco low in summer, and the cold surges into the equatorial region known asfriagens in winter. The tropical eastern South Pacific and the tropical South Atlan- tic adjoining this continent are the only tropical oceans free of tropical storms such as hurricanes and typhoons. In the tropical Atlantic Ocean, the ITCZ presents a west-south- west to east-northeast stretching with a reasonably wide meridional seasonal migration at its southwestern end. South America is also a region of strong meridional interaction between the Tropics and the extratropics. South America's tropics and subtropics suffer a large direct influence of the EI Niiio (EN) and the Southern Oscillation (SO) phenomena. Early this century, Sir Gilbert Wa1ker found a very significant correlation between SO and the Ceará (Brazil) rainfall, which has led to the investigation of the effects of global circulation anomalies in the Tropics over the climatic variability in many regions of the world. More will be said later about the impact of ENSO on SA. |
