Global warming has been linked to systematic changes in North and South America's climates and may severely impact the North American monsoon system (NAMS) and South American monsoon system (SAMS). This study examines interannual-to-decadal variations and changes in the low-troposphere (850 hPa) ...

CMIP5 Simulations of low-level tropospheric temperature and moisture over the tropical Americas
The Andean region in South America is a wide mountainous area covering approximately 1.4 million sq. km. Most of the estimated population of more than 113 million depend on agriuclture for their livelihood. The majority of the farming systems in the high Andes are mixed crop-livestock systems. Li...

Sustainability concerns of livestock-based livelihoods in the Andes
Remotely sensed data are often used as proxies for indirect precipitation measures over data-scarce and complex-terrain areas such as the Peruvian Andes. Although this information might be appropriate for some research requirements, the extent at which local sites could be related to such informa...
