Presentación No. 1: Climatología de Sud América
En esta exposición se describe el clima actual de Sud América empleando observaciones instrumentales durante el siglo XX. La exposición comienza con una descripción de las bases de datos disponibles para efectuar tal climatología. Luego, se provee un entendimiento básico de los procesos físicos que explican la distribución promedio y el ciclo anual medio de las variables meteorológicas (precipitación, temperatura, vientos) sobre el continente Sud Americano y los océanos adyacentes. También se describen en forma sucinta los patrones
continentales de variabilidad climática asociados con ENSO, PDO y AAO.

Because analysis are produced in real-time, some data is not assimilated, but it was archived. In the 90’s the NCEP-NCAR (USA) began a major project in which they re-run their assimilation system with all the available data.
The result is the widely used “Reanalysis” data, including many fields (air temperature, wind, pressure) on a regular 2.5°x2.5° lat-lon grid, from 1948 to present every 6 hours (also available daily, monthly and long-term-mean means). Fields are 2- or 3-Dimensional. Preferred data format: NetCDF. Freely available.
Reanalysis?!

Reanalysis system also includes a meteorological model from which precipitation and other not-observed variables (e.g., vertical motion) are derived.
Reanalysis data is great for studying interannual and higher frequency variability. Interdecadal variability and trends are not so well depicted (we don’t trust much before the 70’s, particularly in the SH).
European Center (ECMWF) did a similar effort (ERA-15 and ERA-40). Higher horizontal resolution (1.25°x1.25°), but harder to get.

The Precipitation Variability (UdW data)
Which regions exhibit large year-to-year variability?
21
Stronger than normal westerlies leads to rainy conditions over western Patagonia BUT drier conditions over eastern Patagonia (orographic effects)…not much elsewhere….
