Overview

This analysis explores seasonal shifts in the Tropical Andes, indicating geographic variability in climate patterns.

Key Points

  • The aim is to assess the advance and delay in the rainy season in the Ecuadorian Andes under climate change.
  • Used daily in situ data from five meteorological stations over 39 to 68 years.
  • Applied harmonic analysis, including Cross-Wavelet Transform and Wavelet Coherence Transform.
  • Conducted Krigging for regionalization of climate data.
  • Compared historical and recent time series data, focusing on the year 2000 as a reference point.
  • Observed a generalized increase in minimum and maximum temperatures.
  • Extreme rainfall events showed no significant changes.
  • Advances and delays in seasonality were not statistically significant.
  • Seasonal changes appeared linked to geographical location rather than temporal shifts.
