IDENTIFICAÇÃO DAS REGIÕES PLUVIOMÉTRICAS HOMOGÊNEAS E INÍCIO E FIM DA ESTAÇÃO CHUVOSA NA BACIA DO MÉDIO SÃO FRANCISCO (BRASIL)

Le résumé fourni par la source

The water scarcity resulting from the poor Spatio-temporal distribution of rain generates great difficulties in water supply for the population of most of the semi-arid northeast and adjacent regions. In this way, knowledge about the rainfall regime of a Hydrographic Basin becomes essential, as a way to monitor droughts, in this case the Middle São Francisco Basin (BMSF) (Brazil). In this work it used daily precipitation data from 22 conventional meteorological stations of the Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia (INMET), located in the BMSF and adjacent areas, from 2001 to 2017. For identification of rain patterns, Cluster analysis via Ward method was used for the discretization of homogeneous groups. Then, the seasonality of the basin was identified, as well as the beginning (IEC) and end (FEC) of rainfall via the Liebmann method. The BMSF rainfall regime was subdivided in to three homogeneous groups (G1, G2, and G3). In addition, these groups presented a similar seasonal pattern of rainfall, the dry season between the May and September months, and the rainy season between October and April months. The IEC and FEC started in mid-October and March, respectively.
