Climate impacts of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation on South America
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020-04-10)
The climate of South America (SA) has long held an intimate connection with El Niño, historically describing anomalously warm sea-surface temperatures off the coastline of Peru. Indeed, throughout SA, precipitation and ...

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 ...

Advancing South American Water and Climate Science through Multidecadal Convection-Permitting Modeling
(American Meteorological Society, 2024-01-08)
South America’s hydroclimate sustains vibrant communities and natural ecosystems of extraordinary biodiversity including the Andes Cordillera, and the Orinoco, La Plata, and Amazon basins. Global warming and land-use change ...
The challenge of unprecedented floods and droughts in risk management
(Springer, 2022-08-03)
Risk management has reduced vulnerability to floods and droughts globally1,2, yet their impacts are still increasing3. An improved understanding of the causes of changing impacts is therefore needed, but has been hampered ...

Benefits of the coupling in the downscaling the South American climate
(Elsevier, 2024)
We evaluate the benefits of the use of a regional coupled model over its stand-alone atmospheric component when forced by reanalysis data in the simulation of the South American climate. We find that the coupling allows ...
