(Springer, 2009)At times when attention on climate issues is strongly focused on the assessment of potential impacts of future climate change due to the intensification of the planetary greenhouse effect, it is perhaps pertinent to look ...
-
(2003-10-01)Regional and large-scale circulation anomalies associated with periods of enhanced and reduced convective cloudiness over Uruguay are studied for austral spring and summer, when rainfall associated with deep convection is ...
-
(Universidad de Chile, 2009)La variabilidad temporal de las distintas componentes del sistema climático comprende ciclos de un amplio rango de frecuencias (con periodos desde escalas sinópticas a multidecadales y mayores) y también cambios de ...
-
(Royal Meteorological Society, 2011-06-12)Long-term precipitation records from the extremely arid northern coast of Chile (18 °S–30 °S) were analysed to assess changes occurring at different time scales. Results are presented here along with a discussion on changes ...
-
(AMER GEOPHYSICAL UNION, 2003)The DICLIMA field experiment was designed to test and quantify the hypothesis of an afternoon enhancement of the coastal subsidence in the extremely arid northern Chile because of solar heating over the west slope of the ...
-
(Universidad de Chile, 2013)Se analizan los indicadores climáticos extremos de precipitación y temperatura propuestos por el Expert Team on Climate Change Detection Monitoring and Indices (ETCCDMI), a partir de series diarias de temperaturas extremas ...
-
(2001-06-15)Altiplano, a semiarid, high-level plateau entrenched in the central Andes. On the interannual timescale, Altiplano rainfall exhibits pronounced fluctuations between drought and very wet conditions, with subsequent impacts ...
-
(AMER METEOROLOGICAL SOC, 1989-04)The functioning of the Southern Oscillation (SO) in the South American sector is analyzed with particular emphasis on the upper-air circulation anomalies. Throughout the year, but especially during austral summer, the ...
-
(BOSS DRUCK MEDIEN GMBH, 2011)Along the hyper-arid Chilean coastal desert between 30 S and 18 S the Loma vegetation undergoes a gradual transition from open shrubland to small isolated areas of a scarce plant cover. Floristic and physiognomic features ...
-
(Universidad de Chile, 2006)Las características físicas del territorio chileno, posibilitan la exposición a amenazas de origen natural. Por otra parte, el modelo de ocupación espacial adoptado por la población origina vulnerabilidades, que al ...
-
(1997)Results from a critical appraisal of surface mean air temperature in Chile and Argentina and extreme air temperature in Chile during the present century are presented. Observations were homogenized to produce a set of ...
-
(2000-02-15)The seasonality of the simultaneous relationship between tropical Pacific SST and rainfall, as well as rainfall predictability one season in advance in subtropical South America (258–408S), is studied using different ...
-
(2003-01-15)The seasonality of the ENSO–rainfall relationship in central Chile (308–418S) and associated circulation anomalies are studied using correlation and compositing techniques. During El Nin˜o episodes there is a tendency for ...
