Abstract

The climatologic phenomena of large-scale El Niño and La Niñaare associated with variations in surface temperature of the Pacific Ocean.In the southern Brazil, they are responsible for changing the patterns ofoccurrence and intensity of frontal systems and the events was analyzed tounderstand theirs effects. Three periods were analyzed: June 2004 to May2005, June 2007 to May 2008 and June 2005 to May 2006. These periodscorrespond to El Niño, La Niña and neutral period, respectively. The frontsystem analysis was made using synoptic maps of the Centro de Previsãodo Tempo e Estudos Climáticos (CPTEC). The fronts were counted andclassified according to their intensity, and the linear correlations wereperformed between an index of intensity of ENSO, provided by theNational Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the intensityof fronts. The results were seasonally grouped. During the El Niñohappened a decrease in the amount of cold fronts at the region in all seasons(autumn excepted), and the biggest difference occurred in the summer(there was 4 fronts in El Niño period and 14 in neutral period). In La Niñaperiod, there was an increase of the number of cold fronts in all seasons,especially in winter (18 front systems); at neutral period occurred 11 frontsystems. However, the intensity of cold fronts was not affected by thephenomenon, except in October. Therefore, the climate of the region insouthern Brazil is influenced by both direct ENSO phenomena analyzedand this is conditioned by the intensity that they present themselves.

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.
