Orographic control over convection in an Inter-Andean Valley in Northern South America
(Universidad Nacional de ColombiaMedellín - Minas - Maestría en Ingeniería - Recursos HidráulicosDepartamento de Geociencias y Medo AmbienteFacultad de MinasMedellín, ColombiaUniversidad Nacional de Colombia - Sede Medellín, 2019-08-31)
Convective processes are a critical issue in the northernmost section of the Andes range, where highly complex orography combines with tropical dynamics to produce intense convective precipitating systems. This study aims ...
The local orographic influence and precipitation events on the coast of Santa Catarina
(Sociedade Brasileira de MeteorologiaFlorianópolis, 2013)
The objective of the study is to analyze the main synoptic features associated with
the occurrence of extreme precipitation on the coast of Santa Catarina (SC), for events with
influence of orography. To the precipitation ...
Wave activity at ionospheric heights above the Andes Mountains detected from FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC GPS radio occultation data
(American Geophysical Union, 2014-03)
An estimation of the ionospheric wave activity, derived from 4 years of FORMOSAT-3/ COSMIC GPS (Taiwan's Formosa Satellite Mission 3/Constellation Observing System for Meteorology—Global Positioning System) radio occultation ...
High Wave Activity Observed in Patagonia, Southern America: Generation by a Cyclone Passage over Andes Mountain Range
(Wiley, 2013-01)
The Antarctic peninsula and Patagonia region (South of South America) have recently been identified as one of the regions with the highest gravity wave activity in the world. In this work, the generation and propagation ...
High gravity-wave activity observed in Patagonia, Southern America: generation by a cyclone passage over the Andes mountain range
(Wiley, 2012-07)
The Antarctic peninsula and Patagonia region (the south of South America) have recently been identified as the regions with the highest gravity-wave activity in the world. In this work, the generation and propagation of ...
Spatial analysis and temporal trends of daily precipitation concentration in the Mantaro River basin: central Andes of Peru
(Springer, 2017-08)
The analysis of annual or seasonal data can lead to misinterpretation of spatio-temporal rainfall distribution. A high percentage of total annual precipitation can fall in just a few days, causing floods or landslides. ...
Evaluation of GPM Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar algorithms to estimate drop size distribution parameters, using ground-based measurement over the Central Andes of Peru
(Springer, 2021-09)
The raindrop size distribution (DSD) parameters, which consists of the mass-weighted average diameter (Dm) and the scaling parameter for the concentration (Nw) are essential to estimate precipitation in numerical modelling ...
Hydroclimate of the Andes Part II: Hydroclimate Variability and Sub-Continental Patterns
(Frontiers Media, 2021-02)
This paper provides an updated review of the most relevant scientific literature related to the hydroclimate of the Andes. The Andes, the longest cordillera in the world, faces major challenges regarding climate variability ...
Influence of African Atmospheric Rivers on Precipitation and Snowmelt in the Near East's Highlands
(Blackwell Publishing, 2021-02)
Atmospheric rivers (ARs) traveling thousands of kilometers over arid North Africa could interact with the highlands of the Near East (NE), and thus affect the region's hydrometeorology and water resources. Here, we use a ...
Assessment of satellite precipitation estimates over the slopes of the subtropical Andes
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2017-07)
A validation of four satellite daily precipitation estimates at a spatial resolution of 0.25° is performed over the subtropical Andes, an area of highly complex topography: The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) ...
