Revisiting extreme precipitation amounts over southern South America and implications for the Patagonian Icefields
T Sauter - Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2020 - hess.copernicus.org
Patagonia is thought to be one of the wettest regions on Earth, although available regional
precipitation estimates vary considerably. This uncertainty complicates understanding and …

[HTML][HTML] Anthropogenic influence on surface changes at the Olivares glaciers; Central Chile
We have investigated the source and role of light-absorbing impurities (LAIs) deposited on
the glaciers of the Olivares catchment, in Central Chile. LAIs can considerably darken …

Projected increases in surface melt and ice loss for the Northern and Southern Patagonian Icefields
Abstract The Northern Patagonian Icefield (NPI) and the Southern Patagonian Icefield (SPI)
have increased their ice mass loss in recent decades. In view of the impacts of glacier …

Air temperature characteristics, distribution, and impact on modeled ablation for the South Patagonia Icefield
The glaciers of Patagonia are the largest in South America and are shrinking rapidly, raising
concerns about their contribution to sea level rise in the face of ongoing climatic change …

Assessing snow accumulation patterns and changes on the Patagonian Icefields
Recent evidence shows that most Patagonian glaciers are receding rapidly. Due to the lack
of in situ long-term meteorological observations, the understanding of how glaciers are …

Response of lacustrine glacier dynamics to atmospheric forcing in the Cordillera Darwin
Calving glaciers respond quickly to atmospheric variability through ice dynamic adjustment.
Particularly, single weather extremes may cause changes in ice-flow velocity and terminus …
