The 2017 coastal El Niño
(American Meteorological Society, 2018-08)
The original concept of El Niño consisted of anomalously high sea surface temperature and heavy rainfall along the arid
northern coast of Peru (Carranza 1891; Carrillo 1893). The concept evolved into the El Niño–Southern ...

High-resolution satellite-gauge merged precipitation climatologies of the tropical Andes
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016-02-09)
Satellite precipitation products are becoming increasingly useful to complement rain gauge networks in regions where these are too sparse to capture spatial precipitation patterns, such as in the Tropical Andes. The Tropical ...

Discharge simulation in the sub-basins of the Amazon using ORCHIDEE forced by new datasets
(Copernicus GmbH, 2012-03)
The aim of this study is to evaluate the ability of the ORCHIDEE land surface model to simulate streamflows over each sub-basin of the Amazon River basin. For this purpose, simulations are performed with a routing module ...

Assessment of climate change impacts on the hydrology of the Peruvian Amazon-Andes basin
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-11)
In this article, we propose an investigation of the modifications of the hydrological response of two Peruvian Amazonas-Andes basins in relationship with the modifications of the precipitation and evapotranspiration rates ...
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 ...

A critical assessment of the JULES land surface model hydrology for humid tropical environments
(Hydrology and Earth System Sciences (HESS), 2013-01)
Global land surface models (LSMs) such as the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES) are originally developed to provide surface boundary conditions for climate models. They are increasingly used for hydrological ...
