Analysis of the time series of monthly precipitation and extreme drought events in the municipality of Carmo do Paranaíba/MG – Brazil.
Luiz Antônio de Oliveira, Eduardo Petrucci.
Rainfall droughts can occur in any region of the planet, regardless of its climatic rhythm, and drought indices are able to estimate the characteristics of these phenomena, determining the beginning and end, as well as their durability over time. Time series are an important statistical tool for extracting information from past data and making projections from this information.

Why is the DOP correlated with snowfall in the Arid Andes?
Arnobio German Poblete, Alejandra Valeria Albarracin.
The Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) is defined as the first principal component of the EOF (Empirical Orthogonal Function) of the SST (Surface Sea Level Temperature-) in the North Pacific. Several studies show that it is significantly associated with snowfall in the Arid Andes. The present work proposes to describe the process that leads to said teleconnection, that is, the spatio-temporal association of the PDO with the factors that affect rainfall in them. It was concluded that the PDO: Increases SST in the ENSO area, has an inverse relationship with MLSP and westerlies, weakening ASPSO and 500mb geopotential.

Regionalization of rainfall patterns for multi-annual dry and wet periods in the Altiplano Cundiboyacense of Colombia.
Douglas A. Gómez-Latorre, Gustavo A. Araujo-Carrillo, Yanine Rozo Leguizamón.
Rainfall is the meteorological phenomenon that occurs most frequently, so it is one of the climatic elelments that presents the greatest spatial and temporal variation. To analyze the spatial and temporal variability along the Cundiboyacense high plateau, a regionalization of rainfall patterns was carried out through the PCA Principal Component Analysis method, based on monthly climatic series of monthly precipitation, from 21 stations.

Estimation of missing temperature data by combining IDW and a truncated Fourier series.
Zaira Carolina Martínez Vargas, Jorge Paredes Tavares, Sergio Ivvan Valdez.
The state of Jalisco presents a high climatic diversity due to its geographical location and its varied landscape. The recorded data, from 1961 to present date, have several problems, the most important is the large amount of missing data. To circumvent this issue, a two-stage method for estimating missing data is proposed; the first uses an unsupervised algorithm; hence it does not require historical data. The second uses supervised interpolation for correcting the error from the first one.

Evaluation of climatological series provided by Reanalysis databases for a locality in the center-north of Venezuela.
Miguel Ilianovich Silva Borges, Naghely María Mendoza Díaz.
The management of meteorological information is essential in the planning of agricultural systems. For this reason, it is necessary to have meteorological series with long, complete and quality data. In its absence, an alternative is to use of reanalysis series, provided they present good precision to the meteorology from which they are evaluated. In this research, the precipitation, maximum and minimum temperatures of the ERA 5, Merra 2 and Terra climate reanalyses were assessed, on a daily and monthly basis, with respect to the series of the INIA CENIAP station, in Venezuela.

Calibration of the Hargreaves equation to calculate the reference crop evapotranspiration (ETo) in Salto, Uruguay.
Pamela Texeira, Alejandro Pannunzio, Javier Brenner.
At the global level, agriculture is the main consumer of water with more than 70\% of the use, using it with an efficiency of around 40\%. The decrease in the water available for agriculture requires that the efficiency of use be increased. One way to increase this efficiency is to accurately quantify the water needs of crops for proper irrigation management. Water needs can be estimated from the reference crop evapotranspiration value (ETo).

Quality control and homogenization of climatic series for the calculation of extreme climatic indicators in Cuba.
Sinaí Barcia Sardiñas, Idelmis T. González García, Dunia Hernández González.
The calculation of the indicators proposed by the Group of Experts in Detection and indicators of Climate Change includes a meticulous process of quality control of the daily series of rainfall, maximum temperature and minimum temperature. Once this process is completed, the data should be subjected to a test of homogeneity, leaving for the analysis only the data series that contain information only due to climate variations and are free from alterations in the measurements due to other causes.
