  abstract = {{R}ising in the {A}ndes, the {M}adeira {R}iver drains the southwestern part of the {A}mazon basin, which is characterized by high geographical, biological and climatic diversity. {T}his study uses daily records to assess the spatio-temporal runoff variability in the {M}adeira sub-basins. {R}esults show that inter-annual variability of both discharge and rainfall differs between {A}ndean and lowland tributaries. {H}igh-flow discharge variability in the {A}ndean tributaries and the {G}uapore {R}iver is mostly related to sea surface temperature ({SST}) in the equatorial {P}acific in austral summer, while tropical {N}orth {A}tlantic ({TNA}) {SST} modulates rainfall and discharge variability in the lowlands. {T}here also is a downward trend in the low-flow discharge of the lowland tributaries which is not observed in the {A}ndes. {B}ecause low-flow discharge values at most lowland stations are negatively related to the {SST} in the tropical {N}orth {A}tlantic, these trends could be explained by the warming of this ocean since the 1970s.},
