Endries, J. L.; Perry, L. B.; Yuter, S. E.; Seimon, Anton; Andrade, Marcos; Winkelmann, Ronald; Quispe, Nelson; Rado, Maxwell; Montoya, Nilton; Velarde, Fernando; Arias, S. (American Meteorological Society, 2018-07-06)

This study used the first detailed radar measurements of the vertical structure of precipitation obtained in the central Andes of southern Peru and Bolivia to investigate the diurnal cycle and vertical structure of ...

A combined view on precipitation and temperature climatology and trends in the southern Andes of Peru

Imfeld, Noemi; Sedlmeier, Katrin; Gubler, Stefanie; Correa, Kris; Davila Arriaga, Cristina; Huerta, Adrian; Lavado-Casimiro, W.; Rohrer, M.; Scherrer, Simon C.; Schwierz, Cornelia (John Wiley and Sons, 2020-05-13)

In the southern Peruvian Andes, communities are highly dependent on climatic conditions due to the mainly rain-fed agriculture and the importance of glaciers and snow melt as a freshwater resource. Longer-term trends and ...

The rainy season in the Southern Peruvian Andes: A climatological analysis based on the new Climandes index

Sedlmeier, Katrin; Imfeld, Noemí; Gubler, Stefanie; Spirig, Christoph; Quevedo, Karim; Escajadillo Fernandez, Yury; Rohrer, Mario; Schwierz, Cornelia (Servicio Nacional de Meteorología e Hidrología del Perú, 2023-01)

The rainy season is of high importance for livelihoods in the Southern Peruvian Andes (SPA), especially for agriculture, which is mainly rain fed and one of the main income sources in the region. Therefore, knowledge and ...
