Abstract
Documental sources and categorization techniques were used to construct a s eries of the annual hail intensity in Mendoza area (Argentina). When the te mporal series by means of Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) and the Maximum Entropy Method (MEM) was analyzed, we found interdecadal oscillations of pe riods of about 20 years and interannual oscillations of about 4 and 9 years . In addition when detrented-data were used a low frequency oscillation of about 72 years also appears.
