What is 2010 Amazon Drought: Historical Context about?

1) The 2010 drought in the Amazon was more severe than the 2005 drought, with water levels in major rivers falling to unprecedented lows. 2) The drought started during an El Niño event and intensified during a La Niña event due to warming in the tropical North Atlantic. 3) Long-term data shows a tendency towards longer dry seasons and more dry/very dry events in southern Amazonia, associated with warming in the tropical North Atlantic that affects river hydrology through a longer dry season.
