ANÁLISE DA VARIABILIADE DA TEMPERATURA DO AR E DA PRECIPITAÇÃO NO DISTRITO FEDERAL NO PERÍODO DE 1965/2003 E SUA RELAÇÃO COM UMA POSSÍVEL ALTERAÇÃO CLIMÁTICA

The Federal District presents environmental and social problems that are characteristic of consolidated metropolises. The rise tax of urbanization has been pointed as the causer of the main problems, also of those related to the climate. This article presents the results of a preliminary inquiry of the variability of the climatic parameters - temperature and precipitation - in the Federal District, in the period of 38 years, with the main purpose to explain questions related to a possible alteration in the climate of the region. It is part of the Thesis "Considerations about variability and climate change in the Federal District, repercussions in the water resources and the information to the public", defended in the Ecoloy Post-Graduation Program of the University of Brasilia - UnB.
