Description
Three major teleconnections, Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), North Atlantic
Oscillation (NAO), and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), in warm and cool phases,
effect precipitation in Florida. The effects of the oscillation phases on the precipitation
characteristics are analyzed by using long-term daily precipitation data, on different
temporal (annual, monthly, and daily) and spatial scales, utilizing numerous indices, and
techniques. Long-term extreme precipitation data for 9 different durations is used to
examine the effects of the oscillation phases on the rainfall extremes, by employing
different parametric and non-parametric statistical tests, along with Depth-Duration-
Frequency analysis. Results show that Florida will experience higher rainfall when AMO
is in the warm phase, except in the panhandle and south Florida, while PDO cool phase is
positively correlated with precipitation, except for the southern part of the peninsula.
