Resumo:
Based on the context of climate change, this research bases its studies on the relationship between the atmospheric phenomenon of the Atlantic Polar Front (FPA) and the impacts of extreme events, specifically on the coast of Rio de Janeiro, based on the premise that, due to the increase in these frontal events atmospheric conditions, there would be a consequent increase in the number of ocean surfs with potential negative coastal repercussions. The work aims to identify this trend of the impacts of extreme coastal events on the coast of Rio de Janeiro from the analysis of the historical occurrences of the expansion of the Cold Atlantic Polar Front over the last three decades (1988 - 2017). To achieve the proposed objective, the acquisition of secondary meteorological, oceanic data and media records was carried out, based on the following steps: numerical study of the total absolute frequency of the FPA (first stage), as well as significant hangovers (second stage) and events of coastal impacts (third stage), in addition to the statistical elaboration of the correlation coefficient and the percentage relative frequency between these events (fourth stage). In view of this, a moderate positive correlation was obtained, capable of proving the hypothesis of this dissertation that there is in fact a simultaneous numerical variation as to the occurrence of FPA s and the coastal impacts on the Rio shore. Finally, the fifth methodological step was based on the processing of data on the historical frequency of coastal impacts, elaborating the frequency map of coastal impacts (FIC S) in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro (1988 - 2017), using the software ArcGis 10.3 and Google Earth Pro.
