             abstract = "Long-term variations of monthly average maximum and minimum 
                         temperature (TMAX and TMIN) and precipitation records in southern 
                         Brazil are investigated for the 1913-2006 period. These variations 
                         are carefully analyzed for seasonal and annual indices, taken as 
                         regional averages. For this purpose, the serial correlation and 
                         trend of the indices are investigated using the run and 
                         Mann-Kendall tests. The significant trends are obtained from 
                         linear least-square fits. The annual and seasonal TMIN indices 
                         show significant warming trends with magnitudes (1.7A degrees C 
                         per 100 years for annual index) comparable to those reported by 
                         the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, but lower than 
                         those found for the southern Brazil in another previous work. 
                         Regarding the two other variables, the indices show significant 
                         trends only for summer, being a cooling trend of 0.6A degrees C 
                         per 100 years for the TMAX and an increasing trend of 93 mm per 
                         100 years over an average summer precipitation of 367 mm. 
                         Concerning the decadal analysis, the 1920s present the lowest 
                         annual, autumn, and spring TMIN and the 1990s, the highest ones. 
                         The 1970s is the decade with the lowest summer TMAX, and the 1940s 
                         the decade with the highest one. The driest decade is the 1940s 
                         and the wettest, the 1980s.",
