                         characteristics, rainfall data for subregions of NE Brazil were 
                         combined. The resulting series (1913-1977) was smoother and showed 
                         some general characteristics like excess rainfall during 1917, 
                         1921, 1924, 1964, 1974 and droughts during 1915, 1919, 1932, 1953, 
                         1958. However, these and other events seemed to occur irregularly. 
                         A spectral analysis showed significant periodicities near T = 2-3, 
                         3-4, 5-6, 13, 26 and 50 years. But their contribution to total 
                         variance was only about 55 leaving about 45 as random or 
                         irregular. In the future, deficit rainfall during the next few 
                         years is indicated, but the reliability of this prediction is 
                         difficult to judge.",
