Multiregional satellite precipitation products evaluation over complex terrain
(American Meteorological Society, 2016-06)
An extensive evaluation of nine global-scale high-resolution satellite-based rainfall (SBR) products is performed using a minimum of 6 years (within the period of 2000-13) of reference rainfall data derived from rain gauge ...

Construction of a high-resolution gridded rainfall dataset for Peru from 1981 to the present day
(Taylor and Francis, 2020)
A new gridded rainfall dataset available for Peru is introduced, called PISCOp V2.1 (Peruvian Interpolated data of SENAMHI’s Climatological and Hydrological Observations). PISCOp has been developed for the period 1981 to ...
Observed and projected hydroclimate changes in the Andes
(Frontiers, 2020-03-17)
The Andes is the most biodiverse region across the globe. In addition, some of the largest urban areas in South America are located within this region. Therefore, ecosystems and human population are affected by hydroclimate ...
