Untangling the importance of dynamic and thermodynamic drivers for wet and dry spells across the Tropical Andes

Andean vegetation and agriculture depend on the patterns of rainfall during the South American monsoon. However, our understanding on the importance of dynamic (upper-level wind circulation) as compared to thermodynamic (Amazon basin moisture) drivers for Andes rainfall remains limited. This study e...
