An unseasonal atmospheric river drives anomalous summer snow accumulation on glaciers of the subtropical Andes
Abstract. Climate change is associated with changes in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. Extreme weather is impacting the mass balance of Andean glaciers, a phenomenon that requir...
