International Journal of Natural Disasters, Accidents and Civil Infrastructure / Revista Internacional de Desastres Naturales, Accidentes e Infraestructura Civil

The scope of this publication covers engineering systems that provide support and help in the design of civil infrastructure, and to the natural disasters and accidents caused by human which may affect the infrastructure. The journal emphasizes contributions which address one or more of the areas identified in the title. The term infrastructure refers here to the physical facilities which allow moving or storing products, raw materials, water, solid waste, energy, information or people. This includes bridges, ports, canals, airports, railroads, systems of urban traffic, roads, lifelines, energy transportation, pipelines, dams, water treatment plants, tanks, silos, and others. Emphasis on natural disaster is placed on hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, floods, drafts, fire, landslides, and others. The journal also deals with man-made accidents, such as design or construction errors, explosions, impacts with vehicles, and others.

El alcance de esta publicación comprende los sistemas de ingeniería que dan apoyo y sirven para el diseño de la infraestructura civil, y a los desastres naturales y accidentes de origen humano que pueden afectar esa infraestructura. La revista publica contribuciones que se refieran a la conjunción de más de una de las áreas temáticas definidas en el título, o a una de ellas. El término infraestructura civil se usa aquí para designar al conjunto de instalaciones físicas que permiten movilizar o almacenar bienes, materias primas, agua, residuos, energía, información o personas. En general, se incluyen aquí puentes, puertos, canales, aeropuertos, ferrocarriles, sistemas de tránsito urbano, carreteras, líneas de comunicación y energía, tuberías, represas, plantas de tratamiento de aguas, tanques, silos, etc. El énfasis en desastres naturales está en el estudio de acciones de huracanes, tornados, terremotos, inundaciones, sequías, fuego, deslizamientos, y otros. Asimismo la revista publica temas relacionados con accidentes y eventos producidos por causas humanas, incluyendo fallas por diseño o construcción, colisiones con vehículos, explosiones, entre otras.

Evaluación de precipitaciones mensuales estimadas con TRMM para su uso en estudios de sequías meteorológicas

International Journal of Natural Disasters, Accidents and Civil Infrastructure (Online first).

Abstract
Precipitation is considered the main variable for the evaluation of meteorological drought in a basin. Droughts is a phenomena of different spatial scale, so that is convenient to have simultaneous rainfall records in time and in different locations, in order to analyze their evolution in space, depending on the size and the variability of the characteristics in the basin. In Argentina, specifically in the central region, the availability of information on the spatial variability of rainfall is not usual, so drought studies in this region are limited. Due to this it is convenient to validate the rainfall information obtained through satellite missions. The present work evaluates the validity and applicability of monthly rainfall data estimated through TRMM in ten stations in the basin of the Carcarañá river in the central region of Argentina and its subsequent application to studies on meteorological droughts through a representative index (SPI). Statistical parameters such as the concordance coefficient, the correlation coefficient and the bias were used for this analysis. There was a significant variation of the parameters with respect to the height. Was observed better coefficients in stations located in plain compared with stations located in mountainous areas.
