Top: AMO index (Celsius) during January 1900-December 2010. Positive and negative AMO phases are indicated in red and blue, respectively. Top: black contour indicates normalized monthly SALLJ index over Santa Cruz de La Sierra, Bolivia. Correlation between indexes: −0.35. Middle: as on top, but black contour shows normalized monthly SALLJ index over Mariscal Estigarribia, Paraguay. Correlation between indexes: −0.40. Bottom: as on top, but black contour shows combined normalized SALLJ index. Dashed horizontal lines indicate 0.5 standard deviation of normalized SALLJ index and used to define periods of high/low SALLJ activity. Correlation between indexes: −0.40. All indexes have been detrended and a low-pass filter has been applied to retain variations longer than 8 years
