ANÁLISE DE AGRUPAMENTO DA PRECIPITAÇÃO E DA TEMPERATURA NO MATO GROSSO DO SUL.

Many sectors of society plan their activities due to variations in precipitation and temperature of Mato Grosso do Sul (MS). Thus, the objective was to examine climate of MS of perspective of these variables. For this, we used data of nineteen weather stations located in the state being used statistical technique of multivariate analysis of Cluster Analysis (AA) by WARD . The technique of AA was proximity of meteorological stations can not guarantee the same climatic pattern, whereas homogeneous regions were identified in different locations of MS. In addition, the climatology of homogeneous regions, we observed influence and importance of climatic factors such as altitude, latitude and longitude.
