The investigators will analyze geostationary and polar orbiting satellite data as well as climatological station data for the period 1976-1985 examine the causes and consequences of precipitation regimes in Venezuela. By determining why the seasonal march of precipitation in Venezuela differs sharply from that in other tropical regions, especially monsoon areas, the project will increase our understanding of the climatology of a region with a unique precipitation regime, of its possible teleconnections with events and processes outside the study region, and our knowledge of tropical climatology more generally. The results of the project will also serve as a benchmark for future studies of topographic effects on climate in the study area and for other geoecological and paleoclimatic investigations.

调查人员将分析1976-1985年期间的地球静止和极轨卫星数据以及气象站数据，研究委内瑞拉降水制度的原因和后果。通过确定为什么委内瑞拉的降水季节变化与其他热带地区，特别是季风区的明显不同，该项目将增加我们对具有独特降水制度的地区的气候学的理解，对其与研究区域以外的事件和过程的可能远相关的理解，以及我们对热带气候学的更广泛的认识。该项目的研究结果也将作为今后研究区域地形对气候影响的研究以及其他地质生态和古气候调查的基准。
