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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
The freezing level in the tropical Andes, Peru: An indicator for present and future glacier extents
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2017-10)
Along with air temperatures, the freezing level height (FLH) has risen over the last decades. The mass balance of tropical glaciers in Peru is highly sensitive to a rise in the FLH, mainly due to a decrease in accumulation ...
Climatology of extreme cold events in the central Peruvian Andes during austral summer: origin, types and teleconnections
(Royal Meteorological Society, 2018-08-30)
The climatological and large‐scale characteristics of the extreme cold events (ECEs) in the central Peruvian Andes (Mantaro basin (MB)) during austral summer (January–March) are examined using reanalysis, gridded and in ...
Integrated assessment and adaptation to climate change impacts in the Peruvian Andes
(Copernicus GmbH, 2009-11)
The Andes as mountain regions worldwide, provide fundamental resources, not only for the local population. Due to the topographic characteristics, the potential for natural hazards is higher than elsewhere. In these areas, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Impacts of different ENSO flavors and tropical Pacific convection variability (ITCZ, SPCZ) on austral summer rainfall in South America, with a focus on Peru
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2018-01)
El Niño in the eastern and central Pacific has different impacts on the rainfall of South America, and the atmospheric pathways through the South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) and Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) ...
