      The hydrological data (since 1953) of the Llanganuco basin (87.0 km2, 39% glacierized) show an increase of the glacial melting during the last quarter of the 20th century. These results were supplemented (since the end of ...

    • The projected precipitation reduction over the Central Andes may severely affect Peruvian glaciers and hydropower production 

      Kronenberg, M.; Schauwecker, S.; Huggel, C.; Salzmann, N.; Drenkhan, Fabian; Frey, H.; Giraáldez, C.; Gurgiser, W.; Kaser, G.; Juen, I.; Suarez, Wilson; Hernaández, J.G.; Sanmartín, J.F.; Ayros, E.; Perry, B.; Rohrer, M.

      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 ...

    • Radar-Observed Characteristics of Precipitation in the Tropical High Andes of Southern Peru and Bolivia 

      Endries, J. L.; Perry, L. B.; Yuter, S. E.; Seimon, Anton; Andrade, Marcos; Winkelmann, Ronald; Quispe, Nelson; Rado, Maxwell; Montoya, Nilton; Velarde, Fernando; Arias, S.

      (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 Energy and Mass Balance of Peruvian Glaciers 

      Fyffe, C.L.; Potter, E.; Fugger, S.; Orr, A.; Fatichi, Simone; Loarte, Edwin; Medina, Katy; Hellström, R.Å.; Bernat, M.; Aubry-Wake, Caroline; Gurgiser, W.; Perry, L. B.; Suarez, Wilson; Quincey, D.J.; Pellicciotti, F.
