Description :
This study documents instabilities in the relationship between El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and climate of the Patagonian-Andean region at spatial and temporal scales directly relevant to biogeographical research. Four temperature and four precipitation regions located south of 38°S were described using homogeneous climate records that were significantly correlated. Correlation function analysis evaluated the response of seasonal temperature and precipitation for each region relative to two indices of ENSO, the Southern Oscillaion Index (SOI) and tropical Pacific sea surface temperatures (SSTs). Discussion of the results.
