Here it is developed datasets of projected monthly minimum and maximum air temperature and precipitation totals on 24 CMIP5 models output bias corrected to a 0.1° resolution. It was produced simulations of one historical (1981-2005) period and one horizon (2006-2100) assuming two representative concentration pathways (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). The dataset is capable to be used in applied climate change studies*.

The last version of PISCOt finally has been released. PISCOt is a merged (observed temperature with land surface temperature (MODIS) and another topographic dataset) product and represents the first daily air temperature gridded database for Peru.

Literature has shown the relationship of drought and El Niño events in the Andes. However, some drought events occurred in non- El Niño years. One of the most extreme and not well-documented event was in the 1990 year. This works present an overview of droughts by comparing two drought index (anomaly and SPI) with two precipitation gridded datasets in the Peruvian Andes.

Droughts have multiple impacts on natural systems and socioeconomic sectors and it may increase in the future due to climate variability and change. In order to understand its impacts, drought risk management is particularly important. Here it is assessed three approaches of drought (by different index) hazards in Peru. In the definition of hazard, the probability it is inherent, however, some hazard maps do not involve any statistical procedure. The overall results demonstrate the uncertainty related to the understanding of the potential risk of drought in Peru.

The last version of PISCOp finally has been released. PISCOp is a merged (observed precipitation with satellite and other gridded dataset) product and represents the first daily precipitation gridded database for Peru. PISCOp involved many cool people for ~5 years, however, the main maintainer is my friend/colleague C. Aybar (95% nerd) and he has an interesting website related to PISCOp.
