Impact of the global warming hiatus on Andean temperature
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015-08)
The recent hiatus in global warming is likely to be reflected in Andean temperature, given its close dependence on tropical Pacific sea surface temperature (SST). While recent work in the subtropical Andes has indeed ...

Impacts of El Niño and La Niña in the precipitation over Perú (1965-2007)
(Sociedade Brasileira de Meteorologia, 2014-06)
The impacts of El Niño (EN) and La Niña (LN) in rainfall in Peru are evaluated using monthly data (1965-2007) of 155 stations distributed over the three hydrographic drainages of Peru: 85 in the Pacific (VP), 21 in the ...

Recent changes in monthly surface air temperature over Peru, 1964–2014
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2018-01)
This study assessed changes in the maximum and minimum surface air temperatures across Peru during the period 1964–2014. For this purpose, we employed the most complete records of air temperature series that were also ...
Trends and variability of precipitation extremes in the Peruvian Altiplano (1971–2013)
(John Wiley and Sons, 2020-05-24)
Precipitation extremes have been investigated throughout the last decades in different regions of the Andes. However, little attention has been paid to the Altiplano region (Central Andes), especially to the Peruvian ...
Temporal variability and annual budget of inorganic dissolved matter in Andean Pacific Rivers located along a climate gradient from northern Ecuador to southern Peru
(Elsevier Masson SAS, 2018-02)
In Ecuador and Peru, geochemical information from Pacific coastal rivers is limited and scarce. Here, we present an unedited database of major element concentrations from five HYBAM observatory stations monitored monthly ...

Cutoff low over the southeastern Pacific Ocean: a case study
(CSIRO, 2021-02-17)
Cutoff lows (COLs) are infrequent events in the tropics that can cause extreme rainfall, flash flooding and landslides in arid areas, such as western South America. In this study, the life cycle of a COL in the southeastern ...
