Assessing hydrological changes in a regulated river system over the last 90 years in Rimac Basin (Peru)
(Springer-Verlag Wien, 2018-04)
Hydrological changes were assessed considering possible changes in precipitation and regulation or hydraulic diversion projects developed in the basin since 1960s in terms of improving water supply of the Rimac River, which ...

Tropical Pacific observing system
(Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019-02-18)
This paper reviews the design of the Tropical Pacific Observing System (TPOS) and its governance and takes a forward look at prospective change. The initial findings of the TPOS 2020 Project embrace new strategic approaches ...
Ocean climate observing requirements in support of climate research and climate information
(Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019-07-31)
Natural variability and change of the Earth’s climate have significant global societal impacts. With its large heat and carbon capacity and relatively slow dynamics, the ocean plays an integral role in climate, and provides ...
Spatio-temporal patterns of thermal anomalies and drought over tropical forests driven by recent extreme climatic anomalies
(The Royal Society, 2018-08-23)
The recent 2015– 2016 El Niño (EN) event was considered as strong as the EN in 1997–1998. Given such magnitude, it was expected to result in extreme warming and moisture anomalies in tropical areas. Here we characterize ...
Editorial : Tropical Climate Variability and Change: Impacts in the Amazon
(Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019-08-26)
Vast amounts of data from satellites and ground-based systems, and improvements on modeling techniques, allows a better understanding of Earth processes and advances on climate science. The tropics play a key role on global ...
Climatology of extreme cold events in the central Peruvian Andes during austral summer: origin, types and teleconnections
(Royal Meteorological Society, 2018-08-30)
The climatological and large‐scale characteristics of the extreme cold events (ECEs) in the central Peruvian Andes (Mantaro basin (MB)) during austral summer (January–March) are examined using reanalysis, gridded and in ...

Can artificial neural networks estimate potential evapotranspiration in Peruvian highlands?
( John Wiley and Sons , 2019-09-26)
Evapotranspiration (ETo) is one of the most important variables of the water cycle when water requirements for irrigation, water resource planning or hydrological applications are analyzed. In this context, models based ...
Radar-Observed Characteristics of Precipitation in the Tropical High Andes of Southern Peru and Bolivia
(American Meteorological Society, 2018-07-06)
This study used the first detailed radar measurements of the vertical structure of precipitation obtained in the central Andes of southern Peru and Bolivia to investigate the diurnal cycle and vertical structure of ...
The role of ENSO flavours and TNA on recent droughts over Amazon forests and the Northeast Brazil region
(Royal Meteorological Society, 2019-12-27)
Amazon tropical forests and the semiarid Northeast Brazil (NEB) region have registered very severe droughts during the last two decades, with a frequency that may have exceeded natural climate variability. Severe droughts ...
