Abstract

Seasonal relationship between the Southern Annular Mode (SAM) and the spatial distribution of the cyclone systems over Southern Hemisphere is investigated for the period 1980 to 1999. In addition, seasonal frontogenesis and rainfall distribution over South America and South Atlantic Ocean during different SAM phases were also analyzed. It is observed that during negative SAM phases the cyclone trajectories move northward when compared to the positive one, and in the South America and South Atlantic sector there is intense frontogenetic activity and positive anomaly precipitation over the Southeast of the South America. In general, SAM positive phase shows opposite signals.A relação sazonal entre o Modo Anular Sul (Southern Annular Mode - SAM) e a distribuição espacial dos sistemas ciclônicos sobre o Hemisfério Sul foi investigada no período de 1980 a 1999. Também foram analisados os padrões sazonais de frontogêneses e de distribuição de precipitação, sobre a América do Sul e oceano Atlântico Sul, durante as diferentes fases da SAM. Na fase negativa da SAM foi observado que a trajetória dos ciclones em todo o Hemisfério Sul move-se para norte, comparada à fase positiva, e que no setor da América do Sul e Atlântico Sul há intensa atividade frontogenética e anomalias positivas de precipitação na costa sudeste da América do Sul. Em geral, na fase positiva da SAM são observadas condições inversas.
