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

Schwarb, M.; Acuña, Delia; Konzelmann, Thomas; Rohrer, M.; Salzmann, N.; Serpa Lopez, B.; Silvestre, E. (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

Ramos, Isabel; Aliaga Nestares, Vannia; Castro, Anabel (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 ...

Tropical Pacific observing system

Smith, N.; Kessler, W.S.; Cravatte, S.; Sprintall, J.; Wijffels, S.; Cronin, M.F.; Sutton, A.; Serra, Y.L.; Dewitte, B.; Strutton, P.G.; Hill, K.; Gupta, A.S.; Lin, X.; Takahashi, Ken; Chen, D.; Brunner, Shelby (Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019-02-18)

This paper reviews the design of the Tropical Pacific Observing System (TPOS) and its governance and takes a forward look at prospective change. The initial findings of the TPOS 2020 Project embrace new strategic approaches ...

Stammer, D; Bracco, A.; AchutaRao, K.; Beal, Lisa; Bindoff, Nathaniel L.; Braconnot, Pascale; Cai, Wenju; Chen, Dake; Collins, Matthew; Danabasoglu, Gokhan; Dewitte, Boris; Farneti, Riccardo; Fox-Kemper, Baylor; Fyfe, John; Griffies, Stephen; Jayne, Steven R.; Lazar, Alban; Lengaigne, Matthieu; Lin, Xiaopei; Marsland, Simon; Shoshiro, Minobe; Monteiro, Pedro M. S.; Robinson, Walter; Roxy, Mathew Koll; Rykaczewski, Ryan R.; Speich, Sabrina; Smith, Inga J.; Solomon, Amy; Storto, Andrea; Takahashi, Ken; Toniazzo, Thomas; Vialard, Jerome (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 ...

Spatio-temporal patterns of thermal anomalies and drought over tropical forests driven by recent extreme climatic anomalies

Jimenez, Juan C.; Barichivich, Jonathan; Mattar, Cristian; Takahashi, Ken; Santamaría-Artigas, Andrés; Sobrino, José A.; Malhi, Yadvinder (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 ...

The 2017 coastal El Niño

Takahashi, Ken; Aliaga Nestares, Vannia; Ávalos, Grinia; Bouchon, M.; Castro, Anabel; Cruzado, L.; Dewitte, B.; Gutiérrez, B.; Lavado-Casimiro, W.; Marengo, J.; Mosquera-Vásquez, K.; Quispe, Nelson (American Meteorological Society, 2018-08)

The original concept of El Niño consisted of anomalously high sea surface temperature and heavy rainfall along the arid northern coast of Peru (Carranza 1891; Carrillo 1893). The concept evolved into the El Niño–Southern ...

Climate impacts of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation on South America

Cai, Wenju; McPhaden, Michael J.; Grimm, Alice M.; Rodrigues, Regina R.; Taschetto, Andréa S; Garreaud, René D.; Dewitte, Boris; Poveda, Germán; Ham, Yoo-Geun; Santoso, A.; Ng, Benjamin; Anderson, Weston; Wang, Guojian; Geng, Tao; Jo, Hyun-Su; Marengo, José A.; Alves, Lincoln M.; Osman, Marisol; Li, Shujun; Wu, L.; Karamperidou, Christina; Takahashi, Ken; Vera, Carolina (Nature Publishing Group, 2020-04-10)

The climate of South America (SA) has long held an intimate connection with El Niño, historically describing anomalously warm sea-surface temperatures off the coastline of Peru. Indeed, throughout SA, precipitation and ...
