As frequências dos Eventos de Precipitação Intensa (EPI) em duas sub-regiões, norte e sul, do Nordeste do Brasil (NEB) são investigadas a partir do modelo Eta. Observou-se que a sub-região norte possui, em média, a maior frequência de EPI e a sub-região sul possui menor variabilidade. Os anos de extremos de precipitação (muitos ou poucos) estiveram relacionados a anos de El Niño. Não se encontrou estrita relação entre anos de La Niña e anos com maiores frequências de EPIs. Na comparação dos resultados dos dados observados de EPI com as simulações do modelo Eta, foram mais confiáveis as distribuições mensais em relação às anuais. As previsões para o futuro do modelo Eta no norte do Nordeste demonstraram tendência a aumento de frequência de EPIs e no sul do Nordeste, maior instabilidade na frequência. A B S T R A C T The frequency of Heavy Rainfall Events (HRE) in two sub-regions, north and south of Northeast Brazil (NEB) from the Eta model are investigated. It was observed that the sub-region north has, on average, higher incidence of HRE and southern sub-region has less variability. Years of extreme precipitation (many or few) were related to El Niño years. There was no strict relationship between La Niña years and years with higher frequencies of HRE. Comparing the results of the observed data of HRE with the Eta model simulations were more reliable monthly distributions with respect to annual. Predictions for the future of Eta model in north of Northeast Brazil, showed a tendency to increase the frequency of HRE and in south of Northeast, greater instability in frequency. Keywords: Extreme rainfalls, Eta, past, present and future climates.Downloads
