La vida en la región amazónica está principalmente relacionada con la estacionalidad del régimen hidrológico fluvial. La riqueza de la biodiversidad y productividad de la llanura de inundación depende de los nutrientes y la materia orgánica que son transportados por los ríos en los sedimentos en ...

Le bassin amazonien est le plus important bassin versant du monde par sa taille d’environ 6 000 000 km2 (≈ 5% des terres émergées) et son débit moyen annuel de 209 000 m3/s (Molinier et al., 1996). Il s’étend sur 7 pays, le Brésil, où se trouve 63% de sa superficie, le Pérou (16%), la Bolivie (12%), ...

In an attempt to estimate the spatial and temporal behaviour of rainfall over the mountainous areas of the Peruvian Andes, a new in situ monthly rainfall dataset has been collected (1998–2007) and compared with Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) 3B43 monthly precipitation data for regions ...

This work provides an initial overview of climate features and their related hydrological impacts during the recent extreme droughts (1995, 1998, 2005 and 2010) in the upper Solimões River (western Amazon), using comprehensive in situ discharge and rainfall datasets. The droughts are generally associated ...

With the objective of understanding the potential and limitations of available precipitation products for hydrological studies, this paper compares six daily and sub-daily precipitation datasets and their impacts on the water balance of the Negro River basin in the Amazon basin. The precipitation ...
