El presente trabajo describe e interpreta, en términos de ondas ecuatoriales, la variabilidad de la anomalía del nivel del mar (ANM) y la anomalía de la velocidad zonal (AVZ) en el Pacífico Ecuatorial en el periodo 2000-2007. Para esto, se implementó un modelo numérico oceánico simple de un modo ...

Se ha desarrollado una propuesta de gestión de riesgo de helada (GRH), para un valle interandino y eminentemente agrícola: el valle del Río Mantaro (VM), ubicado en los Andes centrales del Perú. La elaboración de la propuesta conllevó a un proceso participativo, con intervención y aporte significativo ...

The relationship between monthly mean sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the commonly used El Niño regions and precipitation for 44 stations in Perú is documented for 1950–2002. Linear lag correlation analysis is employed to establish the potential for statistical precipitation forecasts from ...

The Andes as mountain regions worldwide, provide fundamental resources, not only for the local population. Due to the topographic characteristics, the potential for natural hazards is higher than elsewhere. In these areas, assessments of climate change impacts and the development of adequate adaptation ...

The nature of the South Pacific convergence zone (SPCZ) is addressed by focusing on the dry (and cool) zone bounded by it and the coast of South America through numerical experiments. As shown in a companion paper, this dry zone is due, to a large extent, to orographically forced subsidence. Here it ...
