Analysis of Precipitation Variations at Periods of the Tropical Intraseasonal Oscillation in the Isthmus of Panama

题目：巴拿马地峡热带季内涛动时期降水变化分析。这项拟议的工作将通过分析巴拿马运河委员会（PCC） 30年（1965-1994）的日降雨量数据集，并从六个站点的子集延伸到1905年，探索巴拿马降水的季节内波动的性质。振荡是否本地或全球热带有关动力学振荡将探测。还将分析有关卫星数据。这项工作的成功完成将增加有关巴拿马降雨季节内变化机制的新知识，并至少将使PCC降水数据集这一重要数据集进入公共领域。

ABSTRACT ATM 9714995 Leaman, Kevin D. University of Miami TITLE: Analysis of Precipitation Variations at Periods of the Tropical Intraseasonal Oscillation in the Isthmus of Panama. This proposed work will explore the nature of intraseasonal fluctuations in precipitation over Panama by analyzing a data set of 30 years (1965-1994) of daily rainfall from Panama Canal Commission (PCC) with an extension back to 1905 from a subset of six stations. The question of whether this oscillation is local or is related to global Tropical Intraseasonal Oscillation will be probed. Relevant satellite data will also be analyzed. The successful completion of this work will add new knowledge about the mechanisms responsible for intraseasonal variability of rainfall over Panama and at a minimum it will bring to public domain an important data set, the PCC precipitation data set.
