Our research team has investigated global tele-connections of climate to regional satellite-driven observations for Amazon ecosystem production, mainly in the form of monthly predictions of net carbon exchange over the period 1982-1999 from the NASA-CASA (Carnegie-Ames-Stanford) Biosphere model. Results from this analysis suggest that anomalies of net primary production (NPP) and net ecosystem production (NEP) predicted from the NASA-CASA model over large areas of the Amazon region east of 60 degrees W are strongly (and positively) correlated with the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI). Certain areas of the south-central Amazon show strong linkages of the NASA-CASA anomaly record to the Arctic Oscillation (AO) index.
