From drought to flooding: understanding the abrupt 2010–11 hydrological annual cycle in the Amazonas River and tributaries
Jhan Carlo Espinoza, Peruvian Geophysical Instituten this work the authors documents and analyze the hydrological annual cycles characterized by a rapid transition between low and high flows in the Amazonas River (Peruvian Amazon) and they shows how these events, which may impact vulnerable riverside residents, are related to regional climate variability. Their analysis is based on comprehensive discharge, rainfall and average suspended sediment data sets. Particular attention is paid to the 2010–11 hydrological year, when an unprecedented abrupt transition from the extreme September 2010 drought (8300 m3 s-1/ to one of the four highest discharges in April 2011 (49 500 m3 s-1/ was recorded at Tamshiyacu (Amazonas River). more[...]
