This study aims to determine if there is variation in precipitation concentrations in Chile. We analyzed daily and monthly records from 89 pluviometric stations in the period 1970-2016 and distributed between 29 degrees ...

© 2018 Elsevier B.V. The spatial and temporal variability of daily precipitation in Central-Southern Chile (~30–46°S), considering 176 meteorological stations for the period of 1965–2015, was analysed by mean of the ...

Positive trends in annual rainfall in the La Plata Basin (LPB), south of 20°S observed in the last four decades of the twentieth century were not reversed and became more statistically significant when calculated until ...

This study evaluates the performance of precipitation simulated in the historical runs of the Climate Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMPI6) in capturing the complex spatial and temporal patterns observed over ...

Daily station precipitation totals are used to develop a gridded dataset for the region (14°–40°S, 45°–70°W) on a 0.5° × 0.5° latitude/longitude grid, primarily for comparison with regional climate model (RCM) simulations. ...

Seasonality in Argentina is examined using precipitation observations from 56 weather stations north of 42°S and CRU gridded precipitation. The Walsh and Lawler Seasonality Index (SI) and Precipitation Concentration Index ...

Southern South America (SSA) is an extended region where temperature and precipitation daily extreme events have several impacts on the different socio-economic activities. In this work, their individual and compound ...

Based on 56 rainfall stations, which cover the period 1961–2008, we analyzed the presence of trends in the drought-affected area over southern South America (SSA) at different time scales. In order to define drought ...
