AbstractAn analysis of the intraseasonal variability of precipitation over central and eastern Argentina is presented. Daily precipitation data from Argentinean Weather Service stations that are representative of the different geographical regions have been used for the period 1976-2001. The climatological mean seasonal cycle was first removed from the timeseries. In order to retain the intraseasonal variability associated with the warm season (1 Nov-31 Mar), the anomaly timeseries were normalized and filtered by a 20-90 day Lanczos filter. Daily OLR data for the period 1979-2001 have also been used to compare its associated intraseasonal variability with that depicted by the precipitation data. Results show that intraseasonal variability observed in the daily precipitation over central and eastern Argentina explains a significant portion of the total summer variance. Moreover, the explained variance by the intraseasonal variability is largest over eastern Argentina, decreasing from subtropical to middle latitudes. OLR, typically used as summer precipitation proxy, is able to reproduce the basic characteristic of the precipitation intraseasonal variability, particularly when the amplitude of the intraseasonal oscillations (IO) in precipitation timeseries is relatively large. Although, when the IO amplitude is small, OLR variability only explains a small fraction of the precipitation variability. Furthermore, the OLR is not able to represent the precipitation variability on synoptic timescales. Positive (negative) events of precipitation intraseasonal variability were defined identifying the dates in which the filtered precipitation series exhibit values above (below) one standard deviation for at least 5 days. Around 50 events were identified for each category over the period considered, with around half of them exhibiting a mean length of 7 days and the others of 12 days. The date associated with the maximum (minimum) filtered precipitation value was identified for each positive (negative) event and was then considered as Day 0 in the computation of daily composites. Composite 200-hPa geopotential-height anomalies for positive precipitation events over subtropical eastern Argentina show a wave train evolving all along the South Pacific, over the 10-day period previous to the precipitation peak. The wave train is characterized by quasistationary anomaly centers and a relatively fast eastward wave energy progression. On the other hand, composites for positive precipitation events over extratropical eastern Argentina are associated with the evolution of long-life synoptic waves progressing eastward. Composites of OLR anomalies for positive precipitation events over both subtropical and extratropical eastern Argentina are associated with decreased convection in the SACZ region, in agreement with previous works. Nevertheless, differences in the location and timing of the OLR positive anomalies over the SACZ region were observed for both types of composites and will be further discussed in the Conference.
