The freezing level in the tropical Andes, Peru: An indicator for present and future glacier extents

Schauwecker, S.; Rohrer, M.; Huggel, C.; Endries, J. L.; Montoya, N.; Neukom, R.; Perry, B.; Salzmann, N.; Schwarb, M.; Suarez, Wilson (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 ...

The projected precipitation reduction over the Central Andes may severely affect Peruvian glaciers and hydropower production

Kronenberg, M.; Schauwecker, S.; Huggel, C.; Salzmann, N.; Drenkhan, Fabian; Frey, H.; Giraáldez, C.; Gurgiser, W.; Kaser, G.; Juen, I.; Suarez, Wilson; Hernaández, J.G.; Sanmartín, J.F.; Ayros, E.; Perry, B.; Rohrer, M. (Elsevier, 2016-11-29)

Water from glaciers is crucial for the Peruvian hydropower production. Hence, we investigate the glacier-atmosphere and climate interactions in the Cordillera Vilcanota, considering scenarios of significant precipitation ...
