Temporal climate variability and its effects: land use planning contributions to the northern coast of Bahía Blanca estuary, Argentina

The study analyzed climate data from 1960 to 2014 on the northern coast of the Bahía Blanca estuary, Argentina, using Fast Fourier Transform and the Standardized Precipitation Index. Key findings include a 0.9 ºC increase in average air temperature and a reduction in maximum average wind speed by 7.5 km h-1 between 1986 and 2010. The research also identified wet and dry cycles in relative humidity and precipitation linked to El Niño and La Niña events, providing a basis for a sustainable land management plan.

• Between 1986 and 2010, the average air temperature increased by 0.9 ºC and the maximum average wind speed decreased by 7.5 km h-1.
• Relative humidity and precipitation exhibited wet and dry cycles associated with El Niño and La Niña events.
