Atmospheric Rivers Contribution to the Snow Accumulation Over the Southern Andes (26.5° S–37.5° S)

This paper quantifies the climatological contribution of atmospheric rivers (ARs) to annual snow accumulation in the Andes Cordillera between 26.5° S and 36.5° S. An AR identification algorithm, and a high-resolution (0.01°) snow reanalysis dataset, both especially developed for this mountainous reg...
