Rainfall along the coast of Peru during strong El Niño events
(Royal Meteorological Society, 2017-09-26)
While, climatologically, most areas of the Peruvian Pacific region do not experience precipitation, they can be affected by heavy rain and flooding during strong El Niño events with severe socio-economic impacts. Only four ...
Construction of a high-resolution gridded rainfall dataset for Peru from 1981 to the present day
(Taylor and Francis, 2020)
A new gridded rainfall dataset available for Peru is introduced, called PISCOp V2.1 (Peruvian Interpolated data of SENAMHI’s Climatological and Hydrological Observations). PISCOp has been developed for the period 1981 to ...
