Conclusion: A should be divided into NA and SA. ITCZ importance in precipitation supply of A. Recycling precipitation is important in precipitation supply of A (annual: 39%; R=0.81). ENSO teleconnections: recycling precipitation and TRNA is reduced (enhanced) during El Niño (La Niña). Implication: The weakening of Amazon-Atlantic atmospheric circulation, consistent with Zeng et al. (1996)?
