Short summary
The ENSO phenomenon is one of the key factors that influence the interannual variability of precipitation over Southern South America. We identified the regional response of precipitation to El Niño/La Niña events, with emphasis in drought conditions. We found coherent and significant precipitation responses to ENSO phases at a regional level, with deficits under La Niña conditions. The results provide critical baseline information for the agricultural and water resources sectors.
