Farías Barahona, David; Wilson, Ryan; Bravo, Claudio; Vivero, Sebastián; Caro, Alexis; Shaw, Thomas E.; Casassa, Gino; Silva Ayala, Álvaro Felipe; Mejías Acuña, Alonso; Harrison, Stephan; Glasser, Neil F.; McPhee, James; Wündrich, Olaf; Braun, Matthias H. (Cambridge University Press, 2020)Using an ensemble of close- and long-range remote sensing, lake bathymetry and regional meteorological data, we present a detailed assessment of the geometric changes of El Morado Glacier in the Central Andes of Chile and ...

Saavedra, Felipe; Cortes, Gonzalo; Viale, Maximiliano; Margulis, Steven; McPhee, James (Frontiers Media, 2020)This paper quantifies the climatological contribution of atmospheric rivers (ARs) to annual snow accumulation in the Andes Cordillera between 26.5 degrees S and 36.5 degrees S. An AR identification algorithm, and a ...

Rodríguez, Maximiliano; Ohlanders, Nils; Pellicciotti, Francesca; Williams, Mark W.; McPhee, James (2016)This paper presents a methodology for hydrograph separation in mountain watersheds, which aims at identifying flow sources among ungauged headwater sub-catchments through a combination of observed streamflow and data on ...

Valenzuela Díaz, Martín; Navarrete Calvo, Álvaro; Caraballo Monge, Manuel; McPhee, James; García, Andreina; Correa Burrows, José Pablo; Navarro Valdivia, Leonardo (Elsevier, 2020)Natural hydrogeochemical backgrounds or signatures from rivers around the world show great differences depending on the geological and hydrological settings where the specific watershed is placed. This fact is especially relevant ...

Mendoza Zúñiga, Pablo; Musselman, Keith N.; Revuelto, Jesús; Deems, Jeffrey S.; López Moreno, J. Ignacio; McPhee, James (American Geophysical Union, 2020)Understanding and characterizing the spatial distribution of snow are critical to represent the energy balance and runoff production in mountain environments. In this study, we investigate the interannual and seasonal ...

Ayala, A.; Pellicciotti, F.; MacDonell, S.; McPhee, James; Vivero, S.; Campos, C.; Egli, P. (Wiley, 2016)We apply the process-based, distributed TOPKAPI-ETH glacio-hydrological model to a glacierized catchment (19% glacierized) in the semiarid Andes of central Chile. The semiarid Andes provides vital freshwater resources to ...

Shaw, Thomas E.; Deschamps Berger, César; Gascoin, Simón; McPhee, James (Frontiers Media, 2020)Quantifying the high elevation winter snowpack in mountain environments is crucial for lowland water supply, though it is notoriously difficult to accurately estimate due to a lack of observations and/or uncertainty in the ...

Masiokas, Mariano; Christie, Duncan; Le Quesne, Carlos; Pitte, Pierre; Ruiz, Lucas; Villalba, Ricardo; Luckman, Brian; Berthier, Etienne; Nussbaumer, Samuel; González Reyes, Alvaro; McPhee, James; Barcaza, Gonzalo (Copernicus Gesellschaft, 2016)Despite the great number and variety of glaciers in southern South America, in situ glacier mass-balance records are extremely scarce and glacier-climate relationships are still poorly understood in this region. Here we ...

Spatial Distribution and Scaling Properties of Lidar‐Derived Snow Depth in the Extratropical Andes Mendoza Zúñiga, Pablo; Shaw, Thomas E.; McPhee, James; Musselman, Keith N.; Revuelto, Jesús; MacDonell, Shelley (American Geophysical Union, 2020)We characterize elevational gradients, probability distributions, and scaling patterns of lidar-derived snow depth at the hillslope scale along the extratropical Andes. Specifically, we analyze snow depth maps acquired ...

González Reyes, Álvaro; McPhee, James; Christie, Duncan A.; Le Quesne, Carlos; Szejner, Paul; Masiokas, Mariano H.; Villalba, Ricardo; Muñoz, Ariel A.; Crespo, Sebastian (American Meteorological Society, 2017)In the Mediterranean Andes region '(MA; 30 degrees-37 degrees S), the main rivers are largely fed by melting snowpack and provide freshwater to around 10 million people on both sides of the Andes Mountains. Water resources ...

Shaw, Thomas E.; Caro, Alexis; Mendoza Zúñiga, Pablo Andrés; Silva Ayala, Álvaro Felipe; Pellicciotti, Francesca; Gascoin, Simon; McPhee, James (American Geophysical Union, 2020)Information about end-of-winter spatial distribution of snow depth is important for seasonal forecasts of spring/summer streamflow in high-mountain regions. Nevertheless, such information typically relies upon extrapolation ...
