Current state of glaciers in the tropical Andes: A multi-century perspective on glacier evolution and climate change
(Copernicus publications, 2013-01-22)
The aim of this paper is to provide the community with a comprehensive overview of the studies of glaciers in the tropical Andes conducted in recent decades leading to the current status of the glaciers in the context of ...
A data portal for regional climatic trend analysis in a Peruvian High Andes region
(Copernicus Publications, 2011-08-16)
In the frame of a Swiss-Peruvian climate change adaptation initiative (PACC), operational and historical data series of more than 100 stations of the Peruvian Meteorological and Hydrological Service (SENAMHI) are now ...
Heavy Snowfalls in the peruvian Andes: the wettest winter of the last 19 years
(American Meteorological Society, 2019-09)
Most meteorological stations in the central and southern Peruvian Andes also received heavy rainfall in June and July. On
2 June, Ananea, which is located in Puno at 4660 m a.s.l., recorded 32.5 mm (monthly climatology ...
Potential impacts of early twenty-first century changes in temperature and precipitation on rainfed annual crops in the Central Andes of Peru
(Springer, 2014-03-08)
Smallholder agriculture in the Central Andes of Peru is based to large extent on rainfed cropping systems, is exposed to climatic risks and is expected to respond sensitively to increasing temperatures and shifts in the ...
Recent temperature variability and change in the Altiplano of Bolivia and Peru
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2015-08-26)
This work analysed the changes in air temperature in 25 meteorological stations in the Altiplano and the surrounding Andean slopes of Bolivia and Peru, and their relationship with El Niño-Southern Oscillation (SO) and the ...
Ocean climate observing requirements in support of climate research and climate information
(Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019-07-31)
Natural variability and change of the Earth’s climate have significant global societal impacts. With its large heat and carbon capacity and relatively slow dynamics, the ocean plays an integral role in climate, and provides ...
Impacts of land use on the hydrological response of tropical Andean catchments
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2016-08-30)
Changes in land use and land cover are major drivers of hydrological alteration in the tropical Andes. However, quantifying their impacts is fraught with difficulties because of the extreme diversity in meteorological ...
Spatio-temporal patterns of thermal anomalies and drought over tropical forests driven by recent extreme climatic anomalies
(The Royal Society, 2018-08-23)
The recent 2015– 2016 El Niño (EN) event was considered as strong as the EN in 1997–1998. Given such magnitude, it was expected to result in extreme warming and moisture anomalies in tropical areas. Here we characterize ...
Facing unprecedented drying of the Central Andes? Precipitation variability over the period AD 1000-2100
(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2015-08)
Projected future trends in water availability are associated with large uncertainties in many regions of the globe. In mountain areas with complex topography, climate models have often limited capabilities to adequately ...
Can artificial neural networks estimate potential evapotranspiration in Peruvian highlands?
( John Wiley and Sons , 2019-09-26)
Evapotranspiration (ETo) is one of the most important variables of the water cycle when water requirements for irrigation, water resource planning or hydrological applications are analyzed. In this context, models based ...
