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 ...

Ocean climate observing requirements in support of climate research and climate information

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 ...

Impacts of land use on the hydrological response of tropical Andean catchments

Ochoa-Tocachi, B.F.; Buytaert, W.; De Bièvre, B.; Célleri, R.; Crespo, P.; Villacís, M.; Llerena, C.A.; Acosta, L.; Villazón, M.; Guallpa, M.; Gil-Ríos, J.; Fuentes, P.; Olaya, D.; Viñas, P.; Rojas, G.; Arias, S. (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 ...

Can artificial neural networks estimate potential evapotranspiration in Peruvian highlands?

Laqui, Wilber; Zubieta, Ricardo; Rau, P.; Mejía, Abel; Lavado-Casimiro, W.; Ingol, Eusebio ( 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 ...

Characteristics of Precipitating Storms in Glacierized Tropical Andean Cordilleras of Peru and Bolivia

Perry, L. B.; Seimon, Anton; Andrade, Marcos; Endries, J. L.; Yuter, S. E.; Velarde, Fernando; Arias, S.; Bonshoms, Marti; Burton, E.J.; Winkelmann, I. R.; Cooper, C.M.; Mamani, G.; Rado, M.; Montoya, N.; Quispe, Nelson (Taylor & Francis, 2016-06-01)

Precipitation variability in tropical high mountains is a fundamental yet poorly understood factor influencing local climatic expression and a variety of environmental processes, including glacier behavior and water ...

OZCAR: The French network of critical zone observatories

Gaillardet, J.; Braud, I.; Hankard, F.; Anquetin, S.; Bour, O.; Dorfliger, N.; de Dreuzy, J.R.; Galle, S.; Galy, C.; Gogo, S.; Gourcy, L.; Habets, F.; Laggoun, F. (Soil Science Society of America, 2018-11)

The French critical zone initiative, called OZCAR (Observatoires de la Zone Critique–Application et Recherche or Critical Zone Observatories–Application and Research) is a National Research Infrastructure (RI). OZCAR-RI ...

Amazon River dissolved load: temporal dynamics and annual budget from the Andes to the ocean

Moquet, J.S.; Guyot, J.L.; Crave, A.; Viers, J.; Filizola, N.; Martinez, J.-M.; Oliveira, T.C.; Sánchez, L.S.H.; Lagane, C.; Lavado-Casimiro, W.; Noriega, L.; Pombosa, R. (Springer Verlag, 2016-06)

The aim of the present study is to estimate the export fluxes of major dissolved species at the scale of the Amazon basin, to identify the main parameters controlling their spatial distribution and to identify the role of ...

Attribution of Amazon floods to modes of climate variability: A review

Towner, Jamie; Cloke, Hannah L.; Santini, W.; Bazo, Juan; Coughlan de Perez, Erin; Stephens, Elisabeth M. (John Wiley & Sons, 2020-08)

Anomalous conditions in the oceans and atmosphere have the potential to beused to enhance the predictability of flood events, enabling earlier warnings toreduce risk. In the Amazon basin, extreme flooding is consistently ...

Regional parameter estimation of the SWAT model: methodology and application to river basins in the Peruvian Pacific drainage

This study presents a methodology for the regional parameters estimation of the SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model, with the objective of estimating daily flow series in the Pacific drainage under the context of ...

Low-frequency modulation and trend of the relationship between ENSO and precipitation along the northern to centre Peruvian Pacific coast

Bourrel, L.; Rau, Pedro; Dewitte, Boris; Labat, David; Lavado-Casimiro, W.; Coutaud, Aude; Vera, Andrea; Alvarado, Abigail; Ordoñez, Julio (John Wiley and Sons, 2014-05-21)

The relationship between El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and precipitation along the Peruvian Pacific coast is investigated over 1964–2011 on the basis of a variety of indices accounting for the different types of El ...
