Summary

"A state-of-the-art daily precipitation analysis for Brazil for the period 1961-present is used to examine the annual cycle and variability of daily precipitation over the country. Emphasis is placed on daily precipitation statistics (including frequency of occurrence, intensity and geographic distribution). The NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis is used to examine the large-scale circulation features associated with extreme precipitation events. A classification of El Niǫ-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is used together with the daily precipitation analysis to diagnose relationships between ENSO phase and precipitation."
