A frequência de eventos severos e extremos de seca e chuva na Amazônia foi analisada utilizando o Índice de Precipitação Normalizada (SPI) nas escalas de 6 (sazonal estação seca/chuvosa) e 12 meses (interanual). A frequência de eventos secos e chuvosos é importante para a climatologia da região, que é considerada um regulador climático global. Para isso foram selecionadas as séries climatológicas, de 1925 a 2000, de seis localidades da região Amazônica: Belém, Cuiabá, Iauretê, Manaus, Porto Velho, Taguatinga. Os SPIs, 6 e 12, que quantificam excesso ou déficit de chuva, nestas duas escalas de tempo, foram calculados a partir dos ajustes de distribuição gama, pelo método da máxima verossimilhança às médias móveis de 6 e 12 meses das precipitações mensais. Esses foram computados a partir da normalização das probabilidades gama, pelos seus respectivos desvios padrões. As séries temporais dos SPIs 6 e 12, mostram longos períodos de oscilação entre eventos secos e chuvosos. A frequência decenal de ambos SPIs indica variações entre as décadas mais chuvosas e secas nos municípios estudados. As décadas mais chuvosas e secas são periódicas para as duas escalas de tempo analisadas em todas as estações, exceto Iauretê. A B S T R A C T The frequency of severe and extremes events of drought and rainfall in the Amazon was analyzed using the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) in the scales of six months (dry/wet seasons) and 12 months (inter-annual). This is important for the climatology of the region, which is considered a global climate regulator. With this objective, the climatological series from 1925 to 2000 were selected for six locations in the Amazon region: Belém, Cuiabá, Iauretê, Manaus, Porto Velho and Taguatinga. With the aim of quantify the excess or deficit of rainfall in the selected time scales, the SPIs 6 and 12 were calculated using the fit of the gamma distribution by the maximum likelihood method for the moving averages 6 and 12 months of monthly precipitation. These were computed from the normalization of gamma probabilities by its standard deviation. The time series of SPIs 6 and 12, show long periods of oscillation between dry and wet events. The frequency of both SPIs indicates variations between wet and dry decades in the cities studied. Wetter and drier decades were shown to be periodic for the two time scales considered in all locations, except for Iauretê. Key-Words: SPI, Amazon, Drought, RainDownloads
