2 When I say Uruguay
3 When I say Uruguay When I say southern
4 When I say Uruguay When I say southern
5 When I say Uruguay When I say extreme: days in which the accumulated exceeds 90 percentile When I say southern
6 Objective of this investigation
7 Objective of this investigation Understand the main characteristics and atmospheric patterns that influence the extreme events of rainfall in summer in southern Uruguay
8 Motivation
9 Motivation Uruguay is an agricultural country, whose economy is greatly affected by the accumulation and distribution of rainfall
10 Motivation Uruguay is an agricultural country, whose economy is greatly affected by the accumulation and distribution of rainfall Extreme rainfall events generate social damages such as population displacement and road closures
11 Motivation Uruguay is an agricultural country, whose economy is greatly affected by the accumulation and distribution of rainfall Extreme rainfall events generate social damages such as population displacement and road closures There is no investigation on extreme rainfall events in Uruguay
