Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of long-term records (50+ years) of precipitation and streamflow in central-southern Chile (30-48°S) confirmed a tendency toward a dryer condition.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Measurements of the soiling effect on the energy yield of grid-connected crystalline silicon PV modules deployed in five cities across a north-south transect in the Atacama Desert found that the combination of high deposition rates and infrequent rainfalls led to annual energy losses that peaked at 39% in the northern coastal part of the desert.
Journal ArticleDOI
The world's highest levels of surface UV.
Raul R. Cordero,Gunther Seckmeyer,Alessandro Damiani,Stefan Riechelmann,Juan A. Rayas,Fernando Labbe,David Laroze +6 more
TL;DR: Ground-based spectral measurements on the Chajnantor Plateau and at the Paranal Observatory found peak UV levels are expected to be significantly higher at southern hemisphere sites than at their northern hemisphere counterparts.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is found that in recent decades the share of extremely warm days has at least doubled over the period December–January–February (DJF) in northern SA and by midcentury, under the RCP4.5 scenario, extremely warm DJF days are expected to increase by 5–10 times at locations close to the Equator and in the Atacama Desert.

TL;DR: Ground-based measurements of the spectral irradiance at seven locations that ranged from the city of Antofagasta (on the southern pacific coastline) to the Chajnantor Plateau (5,100 m altitude) found that changes in these parameters, as well as the shorter optical path length at high-altitude locations, lead to significant increases in the surface irradiance with the altitude
