Extreme austral winter precipitation events over the South-American Altiplano: regional atmospheric features

Hans Segura et al.

Summary: The South American Altiplano experiences extreme winter precipitation events that can last for several days. These events are associated with upper-level troughs and cold surges, as well as low-level southerly wind regimes and low-pressure systems. These precipitation events have significant impacts on the region's socio-economic activities.

Stable isotope variability of precipitation and cave drip-water at Jumandy cave, western Amazon River basin (Ecuador)

Angie Jimenez--Iniguez et al.

Summary: This study examines the hydrological processes and isotopic composition changes in the Jumandy cave in the western Amazon Basin. It finds a strong correlation between rainfall isotopic composition and precipitation amount, but the correlation weakens at a weekly timescale. The isotopic signature is affected by the moisture source effect and the mixing of individual rainfall events. The isotopic values in speleothems mainly record short-term precipitation changes linked to regional and large-scale atmospheric circulation.

Decadal variability in the austral summer precipitation over the Central Andes: Observations and the empirical-statistical downscaling model

Juan Sulca et al.

Summary: This study investigates the decadal variability in summer precipitation over the Central Andes and identifies the different modes and their associated climate processes. The results show that moisture transport from the Amazon basin and local processes induced by the South Atlantic Convergence Zone and Indian Ocean SST anomalies contribute to the decadal variability in precipitation.

Interdecadal variability of the austral summer precipitation over the Central Andes

Juan Sulca et al.

Summary: The impacts of interdecadal variability in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans on summer precipitation in the Central Andes were investigated. Analysis of precipitation data and climate indices revealed patterns and mechanisms related to precipitation changes. The findings can provide valuable insights for precipitation prediction and water resource management.

On the dynamic mechanisms of intense rainfall events in the central Andes of Peru, Mantaro valley

Jose Luis Flores-Rojas et al.

Summary: This study aimed at analysing the main atmospheric dynamic mechanisms associated with the occurrence of intense rainfall events above the Huancayo observatory in the central Andes of Peru from January 2018 to April 2019, using a combination of in-situ observations, satellite data, radar observations, and model simulations. The results showed that intense rainfall events were linked to the transport of moisture fluxes through various circulation patterns at different levels of the atmosphere, with western and eastern circulations playing key roles in different seasons.

Variability and Controls on δ18O, d-excess, and increment ′17O in Southern Peruvian Precipitation

Phoebe G. Aron et al.

Summary: The study presents a three-year record of isotopic variability in central Andean precipitation, highlighting the negative correlation between elevation and delta O-18(p) values. Results show that seasonal variations in delta O-18(p) are influenced by upstream rainout and local convection. Both eastern- and western-derived air masses contribute to precipitation in southern Peru, and seasonal d-excess(p) cycles record moisture recycling and relative humidity at remote moisture sources.

Isotopic equilibrium between raindrops and water vapor during the onset and the termination of the 2005-2006 wet season in the Bolivian Andes

Francoise Vimeux et al.

Summary: The study examines the isotopic equilibrium state between precipitation and low-level water vapor in the Bolivian Andes, revealing deviations from theoretical equilibrium due to factors such as under-cloud rain evaporation. While disequilibriums are prevalent at individual rain event scale, a strong relationship between observed isotopic composition of precipitation and theoretical equilibrium is observed over the entire sampling period, indicating the importance of local processes in influencing isotopic composition.
