Construction of a daily streamflow dataset for Peru using a similarity-based regionalization approach and a hybrid hydrological modeling framework
(Elsevier, 2023)
This paper aims to develop a national hydrological model using physiographic and climatic characteristics to identify donor and receptor sub-catchments (sub-zones). Therefore, we use the hydrometeorological PISCO dataset ...

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 ...

Cutoff low over the southeastern Pacific Ocean: a case study
(CSIRO, 2021-02-17)
Cutoff lows (COLs) are infrequent events in the tropics that can cause extreme rainfall, flash flooding and landslides in arid areas, such as western South America. In this study, the life cycle of a COL in the southeastern ...

A future of extreme precipitation and droughts in the Peruvian Andes
(Servicio Nacional de Meteorología e Hidrología del Perú, 2023-07-20)
Runoff from glacierised Andean river basins is essential for sustaining the livelihoods of millions of people. By running a high-resolution climate model over the two most glacierised regions of Peru we unravel past climatic ...

Atmospheric transmissivity: distribution and empirical estimation around the central Andes
(John Wiley & Sons, 2004)
This study of the distribution in space and time of atmospheric transmissivity τ takes into account the fact that, in complex
terrain, many factors affect this variable; thus, it is not possible to use the generalizations ...

A Novel High-Resolution Gridded Precipitation Dataset for Peruvian and Ecuadorian Watersheds: Development and Hydrological Evaluation
(American Meteorological Society, 2022-03)
A novel approach for estimating precipitation patterns is developed here and applied to generate a new hydrologically corrected daily precipitation dataset, called RAIN4PE (Rain for Peru and Ecuador), at 0.18 spatial ...

On the future of the water resources from glacier melting in the Cordillera Blanca, Peru
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2005)
The hydrological data (since 1953) of the Llanganuco basin (87.0 km2, 39% glacierized) show an increase of the glacial melting during the last quarter of the 20th century. These results were supplemented (since the end of ...

Reliability of cross-regional applications of global fire danger models: a Peruvian case study
(Springer, 2022-12)
Background: Fire danger indexes (FDIs) are used as proxies for fire potential and are often developed for specific locations. For practical purposes, the extrapolation of the underlying calculations into novel locations ...
