It is known that the South American Low Level Jet (SALLJ) affects precipitation in subtropical Argentina. The SALLJ events present changes in its orientation and these changes modulate precipitation in different regions of subtropical Argentina. The aim of this work is to categorize different SALLJ events in order to be able to discriminate its forcings and its modulation over precipitation in different regions. We only focus in this work in the summer season December, January and February (DJF).
