Using convective available potential energy (CAPE) and dew-point temperature to characterize rainfall-extreme events in the Southcentral Andes
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2019-07-08)
The interactions between atmosphere and steep topography in the eastern south-central Andes result in complex relations with inhomogenous rainfall distributions. The atmospheric conditions leading to deep convection and ...
Evaluating the annual nature of juvenile rings in Bolivian tropical rainforest trees
(SPRINGER, 2011)
Knowledge on juvenile tree growth is crucial to understand how trees reach the canopy in tropical forests. However, long-term data on juvenile tree growth are usually unavailable. Annual tree rings provide growth information ...
Multi-scale features of the co-variability between global sea surface temperature anomalies and daily extreme rainfall in Argentina
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2020-01)
The goal of this study is to provide a better understanding of the trends and dominant oscillations characterizing the co-variability between global sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies and daily extreme rainfall in ...
Hydrological modeling of the Peruvian-Ecuadorian Amazon Basin using GPM-IMERG satellite-based precipitation dataset
(Copernicus GmbH, 2017-07)
In the last two decades, rainfall estimates provided by the Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM) have proven applicable in hydrological studies. The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission, which provides ...
Large-scale circulation patterns and related rainfall in the Amazon Basin: a neuronal networks approach
(Springer, 2011-02-11)
This study describes the main circulation patterns (CP) in the Amazonian Basin over the 1975–2002 period and their relationship with rainfall variability. CPs in the Amazonian Basin have been computed for each season from ...
Data Descriptor: Daily observations of stable isotope ratios of rainfall in the tropics
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-12)
We present precipitation isotope data (δ2H and δ18O values) from 19 stations across the tropics collected from 2012 to 2017 under the Coordinated Research Project F31004 sponsored by the International Atomic Energy Agency. ...
The roles of rainfall, soil properties, and species traits in flowering phenology along a savanna-seasonally dry tropical forest gradient
(2017-09-01)
We investigated flowering phenology in a semiarid macroclimate along an environmental gradient encompassing neotropical savanna, transition, and seasonally dry tropical forest (SDTF) areas in the Chapada Diamantina Mountains, ...
Tropical Andes radar precipitation estimates need high temporal and moderate spatial resolution
(2019)
Weather radar networks are an excellent tool for quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE), due to their high resolution in space and time, particularly in remote mountain areas such as the Tropical Andes. Nevertheless, ...
Tropical South America east of the Andes
(American Meteorological Society, 2016-08)
This region includes Brazil, Paraguay, southern Venezuela, and the Amazon lowland sectors of Peru, Colombia and Bolivia.
The atmospheric circulation associated with extreme rainfall events in Piura, Peru, during the 1997-1998 and 2002 El Niño events
(European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2004-11-29)
The lowland of Piura, in northwestern Peru, is very strongly impacted by El Niño. Its climate is arid but can experience very heavy rainfall associated with the high nearby sea surface temperature (SST) during El Niño ...
