Lead and Lag Regressions
Base point: Kelvin-filtered OLR at 60W, Eq.
Fields: 30-day high-pass filtered OLR, 200 mb winds and stream function

The dates are then separated by additional criteria before compositing:
“Pacific” cases: 3 days before key date Kelvin-filteredOLR more than 8 Wm-2 below mean at 95W, 2.5N
“South America” cases: 3 days before key date, 30-day high-pass filtered OLR more than 6 Wm-2 below mean at 60W, 20S.
56 Pacific cases60 South America cases
30 common cases(77 neither)
Dates are found with a 1 standard deviationnegative OLR anomalies at 60W, Eq.

Conclusions
• There are at least two mechanisms that force Kelvin waves over South America a) at upper levels from the Pacific b) at lower levels from southern South America
(e.g., Garreaud and Wallace 1998; Garreaud 2000)
• Not all South American (cold) events force Kelvin waves
