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 ...

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 ...

A critical assessment of the JULES land surface model hydrology for humid tropical environments
(Hydrology and Earth System Sciences (HESS), 2013-01)
Global land surface models (LSMs) such as the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES) are originally developed to provide surface boundary conditions for climate models. They are increasingly used for hydrological ...
