The application of the Hilbert-Huang Transform in series of rainfall, river discharge and temperature, for different temporal resolutions, is studied, in order to identify the principal modes of hydroclimatic variability in Colombia. Results are compared with the traditional methodologies for spectral analysis: the Fourier Transform and the Wavelet Transform. In variables with monthly resolution (precipitation, temperature and river discharge) oscillation modes are associated with periods of 3, 6 and 12 months, 2-3 years and 3.5-6 years, while
