  abstract = {{C}limate indices based on sea surface temperature ({SST}) can synthesize information related to physical processes that describe change and variability in continental precipitation from floods to droughts. {T}he {S}outh {A}tlantic {S}ubtropical {D}ipole index ({SASD}) is based on the distribution of {SST} in the {S}outh {A}tlantic and fits these criteria. {I}t represents the dominant mode of variability of {SST} in the {S}outh {A}tlantic, which is modulated by changes in the position and intensity of the {S}outh {A}tlantic {S}ubtropical {H}igh. {H}ere we reconstructed an index of the {S}outh {A}tlantic {O}cean {SST} ({SASD}-like) for the past twelve thousand years (the {H}olocene period) based on proxy-data. {T}his has great scientific implications and important socio-economic ramifications because of its ability to infer variability of precipitation and moisture over {S}outh {A}merica where past climate data is limited. {F}or the first time a reconstructed index based on proxy data on opposite sides of the {SASD}-like mode is able to capture, in the {S}outh {A}tlantic, the significant cold events in the {N}orthern {H}emisphere at 12.9-11.6 kyr {BP} and 8.6-8.0 ky {BP}. {T}hese events are related, using a transient model simulation, to precipitation changes over {S}outh {A}merica.},
