Uma história recente dos cenários climáticos da Ilha do Maranhão

Abstract

During today's environmental discussions. the need to analyse the elements that make up the climate stands out, especially at the regional and local leveis. In other words, we cannot talk about climate change without systematic analysis of long-term statistical data to assess the behaviour and rhythm of the elements that make up the local and regional climate. Thus, the study of meteorological parameters that forni the climate (long-term, that is over 30 years of uninterrupted accumulated measurements) of a region, especially in the Coastal environments of Maranhão, as is the case of Maranhão Island, directly assists in the correlation of factors and processes that cause changes in the rhythm and variability of dynamics and atmospheric disturbances in certain spatial locations, especially those with official meteorological stations. This, in tum. contributes to the establishment of climatological indicators (called normal) that can point to the naturalness of meteorological-climatic phenomena or their connection with anthropogenic phenomena of variable durations, especially in Urban Climate Systems (UCC). Currently, there are several demands for meteoro-climatic data applied to the Coastal Zone of Maranhão, rnainly in academic. public management and specialized consultancies. Demands for meteorological and climatic information are increasing for planning studies and territorial planning, whether political or environmental
