Geoestatística aplicada na estimativa de chuvas máximas diárias no estado de Minas Gerais

Abstract

The objective of this work is to determine the parameters α and β estimates of rainfall in the entire state of Minas Gerais with a certain probability, as well as our traditional return times. A study area of the State of Minas Gerais, with rainfall data of 96 rainfall stations present in the region and tested for generalized distribution of extreme values (GEV)adherence and trend. The results of the spatial dependence evaluation of the parameters and their confidence parameters demonstrate that the exponential semivariogram model was the most adequate to describe a spatial dependence of the parameters of the GEV distribution, being able to be applied to values of daily maximum non-state precipitation Minas Gerais. It was concluded that the generated maps can be used for the determination of the parameters and in any locality of Minas Gerais and, thus, a maximum daily precipitation, can be obtained by times of return since the confidence intervals of α and β are respected.
