      We present the first systematic classification of circulation regimes that characterize the Tropical Andes during the dry season (May–August). We apply the hierarchical k-means clustering method to ERA-Interim reanalysis ...

    • High-resolution satellite-gauge merged precipitation climatologies of the tropical Andes 

      Manz, B.; Buytaert, W.; Zulkafli, Z.; Lavado-Casimiro, W.; Willems, B.; Robles, L.A.; Rodríguez-Sánchez, Juan-Pablo
