Increased floodplain inundation in the Amazon since 1980
Extensive floodplains throughout the Amazon basin support important ecosystem services and influence global water and carbon cycles. A recent change in the hydroclimatic regime of the region, with increased rainfall in the northern portions of the basin, has produced record-breaking high water levels on the Amazon River mainstem. Yet, the implications for the magnitude and duration of floodplain inundation across the basin remain unknown. Here we…
Extreme seasonal droughts and floods in Amazonia
This paper reviews recent progress in the study and understanding of extreme seasonal events in the Amazon region, focusing on drought and floods. The review includes a history of droughts and floods in the past, in the present and some discussions on future extremes in the context of climate change and its impacts on the Amazon region. Several extreme hydrological events, some of them characterized as ‘once in a century’, have been reported in t…
Evidencing decadal and interdecadal hydroclimatic variability over the Central Andes
In this study we identified a significant low frequency variability (8 to 20 years) that characterizes the hydroclimatology over the Central Andes. Decadal-interdecadal variability is related to the centralwestern Pacific Ocean (R 2 =0.50) and the zonal wind at 200 hPa above the Central Andes (R 2 =0.66). These two oceanic-atmospheric variables have a dominant decadal-interdecadal variability, and there is a strong relationship between them at a …
The extreme 2014 flood in south-western Amazon basin
Unprecedented wet conditions are reported in the 2014 summer (December-March) in Southwestern Amazon, with rainfall about 100% above normal. Discharge in the Madeira River (the main southern Amazon tributary) has been 74% higher than normal (58 000 m 3 s -1 ) at Porto Velho and 380% (25 000 m 3 s -1 ) at Rurrenabaque, at the exit of the Andes in summer, while levels of the Rio Negro at Manaus were 29.47 m in June 2014, corresponding to the fifth …
Future changes in precipitation and impacts on extreme streamflow over Amazonian sub-basins
Because of climate change, much attention is drawn to the Amazon River basin, whose hydrology has already been strongly affected by extreme events during the past 20 years. Hydrological annual extreme variations (i.e. low/high flows) associated with precipitation (and evapotranspiration) changes are investigated over the Amazon River sub-basins using the land surface model ORCHIDEE and a multimodel approach. Climate change scenarios from up to ei…
From drought to flooding
In this work we document and analyze the hydrological annual cycles characterized by a rapid transition between low and high flows in the Amazonas River (Peruvian Amazon) and we show how these events, which may impact vulnerable riverside residents, are related to regional climate variability. Our analysis is based on comprehensive discharge, rainfall and average suspended sediment data sets. Particular attention is paid to the 2010–11 hydrologic…
