-
(Wiley, 2018-04)The far eastern tropical Pacific experienced a rapid, marked warming in early 2017, causing torrential rains along the west coast of South America with a significant societal toll in Peru and Ecuador. This strong coastal ...
-
(2018)Background: Over the last decades interest has grown on how climate change impacts forest resources. However, one of the main constraints is that meteorological stations are riddled with missing climatic data. This study ...
-
(Australian bureau meteorology, 2017)Streamflow reductions have been reported in mid-latitude Southern Hemisphere (SH) catchments, in particular in the southwest of Western Australia (SWA) and in central Chile (CC), following decreases in precipitation since ...
-
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2019)Detailed temperature reconstructions over the past 2,000 years are important for contextualizing modern climate change. The midlatitude SE Pacific is a key region in this regard in terms of understanding the climatic ...
-
(Elsevier, 2013)This paper, first of a two-part work, presents an overview of the development of a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver in OpenFOAM platform to simulate the internal ventilation regime within an open pit including ...
-
(Wiley, 2018-04)This paper evaluates the relationship between fire occurrence (number and burned area) and climate variability (precipitation and maximum temperatures) across central and south-central Chile (32 degrees-43 degrees S) during ...
-
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)The climatology and recent trends of low-level coastal clouds at three sites along the northern Chilean coast (18.3 degrees-23.4 degrees S) are documented based upon up to 45 years of hourly observations of cloud type, ...
-
(MDPI, 2020)In this study, we explored the connection between anomalies in springtime Antarctic ozone and all-year precipitation in the Southern Hemisphere by using observations from 1960–2018 and coupled simulations for 1960–2050. ...
-
(Wiley, 2020)The spatial distribution of surface air temperatures is essential for understanding and modelling high-relief environments. Good estimations of the surface temperature lapse rate (STLR) and the 0 degrees C isotherm height ...
-
(AMER METEOROLOGICAL SOC, 2005-12)The subtropical west coast of South America is under the influence of the southeast Pacific anticyclone year-round, which induces persistent southerly winds along the coast of north-central Chile. These winds often take ...
-
(Nature, 2020)
-
(MDPI, 2020)Rising temperatures and increasing drought in Mediterranean-type climate areas are expected to affect plant-pollinator interactions, especially in plant species with specialised pollination. Central Chile experienced a ...
-
(American Geophysical Union, 2018-04-27)A record-setting temperature of 17.5 degrees C occurred on 24 March 2015 at the Esperanza station located near the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula (AP). We studied the event using surface station data, satellite ...
-
(MDPI, 2020)The freezing level in the free troposphere often intercepts the terrain of the world's major mountain ranges, creating a rain-snow limit. In this work, we use the free tropospheric height of the 0 degrees C isotherm (H0) ...
-
(Copernicus Gesellschaft MBH, 2020)Detecting and understanding historical changes in the frequency of geo-climatic hazards (G-CHs) is crucial for the quantification of current hazards and project them into the future. Here we focus in the eastern subtropical ...
-
(Frontiers Media, 2020)Owing to the extraordinary latitudinal extent, a strong orographic variability with very high mountain tops, and the presence of deep valleys and steep slopes, the Andes and the population of the region are highly prone ...
-
(Frontiers Media, 2020)The Andes is the longest cordillera in the world and extends from northern South America to the southern extreme of the continent (from 11 degrees N to 53 degrees S). The Andes runs through seven countries and is characterized ...
-
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)A harmful algal bloom (HAB) of the raphidophyta alga Pseudochattonella cf. verruculosa during the 2016 austral summer (February-March) killed nearly 12% of the Chilean salmon production, causing the worst mass mortality ...
-
(Amer Meteorological Soc, 2016)Northern Chile hosts the driest place on Earth in the Atacama Desert. Nonetheless, an extreme precipitation event affected the region on 24-26 March 2015 with 1-day accumulated precipitation exceeding 40mm in several ...
-
(Elsevier, 2017)On January 4, 2014, during the summer period in South America, an intense forest and dry pasture wildfire occurred nearby the city of Santiago de Chile. On that day the biomass-burning plume was transported by low-intensity ...
