The strengthening of Amazonian precipitation during the wet season driven by tropical sea surface temperature forcing

Amazonian rainfall plays a critical role in the global climate system and the hydrological cycle. It is thus important to quantify changes in the Amazonian rainfall and clarify its mechanism. Previous studies indicate that the interannual variability of Amazonian precipitation could be largely attri...
