Precipitation analysis in the Rio de Janeiro Serrana Región during the period 1971-2010
Abstract
This paper presents precipitation data from three cities in the Serrana region of Rio de Janeiro: Nova Friburgo, Petropolis and Teresopolis, during the period 1971-2010. Monthly and annual averages, total precipitation for each year, and maximum values of annual rainfall were calculated in order to identify the months and years with high levels of precipitation in the area and to analyze the interannual
variability of precipitation. It was observed that the three most important cities in the Rio de Janeiro Serrana Region presented intense rainfall associated with the action of Atlantic Convergence South Zone, which has resulted in natural disasters. However, we can not conclude that there is a continuing trend of such events.
