Groundwater isotope ratios reflect convective and stratiform (paleo)precipitation fractions in Brazil
(2020-06-01)
The stable isotope ratios of oxygen and hydrogen in shallow groundwater reflect the long-term amount-weighted mean isotopic composition of precipitation. Here, we report the isotopic composition of more than 1000 shallow ...
Detection and characterization of the melting layer based on polarimetric radar scans
(Wiley, 2015-09-22)
Stratiform rain situations are generally associated with the presence of a melting layer characterized by a strong signature in polarimetric radar variables. This layer is an important feature as it indicates the transition ...
Orographic effects of the subtropical and extratropical andes on upwind precipitating clouds
(American Geophysical Union, 2015-05)
The orographic effect of the Andes (30°S–55°S) on upwind precipitating clouds from midlatitude frontal systems is investigated using surface and satellite data. Rain gauges between 33°S and 44°S indicate that annual ...
The Chilean Coastal Orographic Precipitation Experiment: Observing the influence of microphysical rain regimes on coastal orographic precipitation
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)
The Chilean Coastal Orographic Precipitation Experiment (CCOPE) was conducted during the australwinter of 2015 (May–August) in the Nahuelbuta Mountains (peak elevation 1.3 km MSL) of southern Chile(388S). CCOPE used ...

Contrasting climates at both sides of the Andes in Argentina and Chile
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2019-05)
The prominent Andes cordillera induces significant differences in climates between its eastern and western slopes. These climatic differences are largely reflected by contrasting vegetation and ice coverages but remain ...
High-elevation monsoon precipitation processes in the central Andes of Peru
(American Geophysical Union, 2020-12-27)
Measurements at the high-elevation Lamar Observatory in the Mantaro Valley (MV) in the Central Andes of Peru demonstrate a diurnal cycle of precipitation characterized by convective rainfall during the afternoon and nighttime ...
Radar-Observed Characteristics of Precipitation in the Tropical High Andes of Southern Peru and Bolivia
(American Meteorological Society, 2018-07-06)
This study used the first detailed radar measurements of the vertical structure of precipitation obtained in the central Andes of southern Peru and Bolivia to investigate the diurnal cycle and vertical structure of ...
Orographic rainfall hot spots in the Andes‐Amazon transition according to the TRMM precipitation radar and in situ data
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2017-06-16)
The Andes‐Amazon transition, along the eastern Peruvian Andes, features “hot spots” with strong precipitation. Using 15 years of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission PR data we established a robust relation between terrain ...
