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

Projected increases in the annual flood pulse of the Western Amazon
(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2016-01)
The impact of a changing climate on the Amazon basin is a subject of intensive research because of its rich biodiversity and the significant role of rainforests in carbon cycling. Climate change has also a direct hydrological ...

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

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 ...

Multiregional satellite precipitation products evaluation over complex terrain
(American Meteorological Society, 2016-06)
An extensive evaluation of nine global-scale high-resolution satellite-based rainfall (SBR) products is performed using a minimum of 6 years (within the period of 2000-13) of reference rainfall data derived from rain gauge ...

Climate trends and variability in Ecuador (1966–2011)
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2016-01-15)
This study detects climate trends and variability from precipitation and temperature observations in Ecuador and assesses their links to the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) for the period 1966–2011, using the El Niño ...

High-resolution satellite-gauge merged precipitation climatologies of the tropical Andes
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016-02-09)
Satellite precipitation products are becoming increasingly useful to complement rain gauge networks in regions where these are too sparse to capture spatial precipitation patterns, such as in the Tropical Andes. The Tropical ...
