Water resources and climate change impact modelling on a daily time scale in the Peruvian Andes
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2014-11)
Estimating water resources is important for adequate water management in the future, but suitable data are often scarce. We estimated water resources in the Vilcanota basin (Peru) for the 1998–2009 period with the ...

A comparative performance analysis of TRMM 3B42 (TMPA) versions 6 and 7 for hydrological applications over Andean-Amazon river basins
(American Meteorological Society, 2014-04)
The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission 3B42 precipitation estimates are widely used in tropical regions for hydrometeorological research. Recently, version 7 of the product was released. Major revisions to the algorithm ...

The Major Floods in the Amazonas River and Tributaries (Western Amazon Basin) during the 1970-2012 Period: A Focus on the 2012 Flood
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)
In this work, the authors analyze the origin of the extreme floods in the Peruvian Amazonas River during the 1970-2012 period, focusing on the recent April 2012 flooding (55400m3 s-1). Several hydrological variables, such ...

ENSO impact on hydrology in Peru
(Copernicus GmbH, 2013-04)
The El Niño and La Niña impacts on the hydrology of Peru were assessed based on discharge data (1968-2006) of 20 river catchments distributed over three drainage regions in Peru: 14 in the Pacific Coast (PC), 3 in the Lake ...

Sediment budget in the Ucayali River basin, an Andean tributary of the Amazon River
(Copernicus GmbH, 2014-01)
Formation of mountain ranges results from complex coupling between lithospheric deformation, mechanisms linked to subduction and surface processes: weathering, erosion, and climate. Today, erosion of the eastern Andean ...

The integration of field measurements and satellite observations to determine river solid loads in poorly monitored basins
(IRD France Nord, 2012-06)
The use of satellite imagery to assess river sediment discharge is discussed in the context of poorly monitored basins. For more than three decades, the Peruvian hydrological service SENAMHI has been maintaining several ...

Trends in rainfall and temperature in the Peruvian Amazon-Andes basin over the last 40years (1965-2007)
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2013-09)
The hydroclimatology of the Peruvian Amazon-Andes basin (PAB) which surface corresponding to 7% of the Amazon basin is still poorly documented. We propose here an extended and original analysis of the temporal evolution ...

The projected precipitation reduction over the Central Andes may severely affect Peruvian glaciers and hydropower production
(Elsevier, 2016-11-29)
Water from glaciers is crucial for the Peruvian hydropower production. Hence, we investigate the glacier-atmosphere and climate interactions in the Cordillera Vilcanota, considering scenarios of significant precipitation ...

Particulate matter levels in a South American megacity: the metropolitan area of Lima-Callao, Peru
(Springer, 2017-11-13)
The temporal and spatial trends in the variability of PM10 and PM2.5 from 2010 to 2015 in the metropolitan area of Lima-Callao, Peru, are studied and interpreted in this work. The mean annual concentrations of PM10 and ...

A comparative analysis of TRMM-rain gauge data merging techniques at the daily time scale for distributed rainfall-runoff modeling applications
(American Meteorological Society, 2015-01)
This study compares two nonparametric rainfall data merging methods-the mean bias correction and double-kernel smoothing-with two geostatistical methods-kriging with external drift and Bayesian combination-for optimizing ...
