Spanish term

las series de cálculo

Spanish to English Other Mathematics & Statistics Water basin organisations
Hi All,

I am translating a document on basin organisation management, and I would appreciate some advice on tackling this term as I am not a Maths expert. The section in question discusses calculating expected rainfall and the effect on water levels. It appears in the text as follows:

"Se da algún caso en que actuaciones diseñadas en aquella época han quedado sobredimensionadas y otras previsiones efectuadas han resultado excesivamente optimistas. Por ello es muy importante la selección de las series de cálculo."

The only way I can think to translate this is "calculation series", but having investigated on the internet, it doesn't look like a term that comes up very often.

Could anyone give any advice, or point me in the right direction?

Thanks to all in advance,

Darren

DLyons Sep 5, 2011:
More context? It seems to be used in the sense of "base data" i.e. "data used as the basis of the calculations". Some of the previous text should help to clear that up.
