This study investigates the interannual variability of occurrence and physical features of Convective Systems (CS) during the autumn season (from March to May) over the Northern Northeast Brazil (NNEB). Five different scenarios were considered of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) effect as well as the inter-hemispheric gradient tropical of Atlantic (GradATL) from 1984 to 2008. For this, analyzes from ISCCP-Tracking database and monthly Sea Surface Temperature (SST) data for the area of Niño3.4 (170° W-120° W, 5°S-5°N), North (5-20°N, 60-30°W) and South (0-20°S, 30°W-10°E) Tropical Atlantic from NOAA_ERSST_V3 were used. Results show high interannual variability in the occurrence of CS, with the major (minor) detections when the oceanic conditions were favorable (neutral) to rainfall in NNEB. The physical features of CS in the favorable, El Niño/Grad_S and La Niña/Grad_N oceanic patterns indicated they were larger, deeper and had more convective activity, which is an indicative of probable higher rainfall rate associated. In contrast, in the unfavorable and neutral scenarios they were smaller and less convective.
