This paper aims at a deeper understanding of the influence of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) in the precipitation regime of Campina Grande - Paraíba for the period 1911-2011. Having the time series of precipitation and ODP became the normalization of the series in order to relate the two variables in a range with similar amplitude and admensionais. The second step was the application of the statistical test of Mann Kendall time series of rainfall in Campina Grande in order to identify possible trends série.Baseado the results of normalized time series of precipitation and ODP was found that for the period analyzed is visible occurrence complete three phases, two hot and one cold, the ODP in the last century, where the hot phase corresponds to the years between 19251946 and 1977-1998 and the period 1947-1976 cold phase. However, when analyzing graphically the relationship between the standard deviations of rainfall from Campina Grande to the ODP can be checked very few relationships between PDO phases and variability in total annual precipitation in Campina Grande. Therefore, the results showed that the precipitation of Campina Grande suffers little influence imposed by the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) for the period studied and application of the Mann Kendall showed that the series is stationary behavior.

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication
The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
