Abstract
The influence of the interannual large-scale atmospheric oscillations in the uptake and moisture transport from the major oceanic moisture sources with impact over Mesoamerica is investigated herein using a sophisticated Lagrangian approach informed by ERA-Interim reanalysis data (1979-2012), which showed how the moisture sinks changes associated with the evaporation sources reproduce the well-known atmospheric systems variation patterns and the regional precipitation linked to El Niño-Southern Oscillation and the Arctic Oscillation. However, the most important result, not revealed before for the Mesoamerican region, is the Antarctic Oscillation teleconnection, which highlights a stronger statistical correlation with the Pacific moisture transport during the dry season and a little weaker correlation during the rainy season. These results may be used as predictors for the precipitation distribution behavior, mainly during its onset period and for its first maximum.
