Understanding the temporal inequality in precipitation is of great importance for water resource management, environmental risk management, and ecological conservation. This study investigated the spatial patterns and trends of the daily precipitation concentration over the Yarlung Tsangpo River Basin using the concentration index (CI) and the Lorentz asymmetric coefficient (LAC). A Mann–Kendall test and Hurst’s rescaled range analysis were used to detect the change in CI trends. The CI ranged from 0.58 to 0.65, suggesting that a quarter of the rainiest days contributed approximately 69–78% of the total precipitation. The LAC analysis indicated that the nonuniform distribution of precipitation was mainly attributed to a large proportion of days with light rainfall. Compared with that of the central region, the daily precipitation in the western and eastern regions was more irregular. At a seasonal scale, the dry season had a less homogeneous spatial distribution of CI compared to that of the wet season. Most areas exhibited no significant trends in CI from 1970 to 2017. A quarter of the stations presented a significant downward trend in CI, which were primarily found in the central and northern regions. In addition, the future trends of CI in most areas mostly agree with those of the current state; however, the majority of stations exhibited an uneven precipitation distribution in the dry season.

Distribución espacial del índice de concentración de precipitación diaria en los Andes centrales peruanos: valle del rio Mantaro Spatial distribution of a daily precipitation concentration index in central Andes of Perú: Mantaro river valley Zubieta Ricardo, Saavedra Miguel Instituto Geofísico del Perú, Calle Badajoz 169 IV Etapa, Mayorazgo, Ate. Lima 03, Perú Universidad Nacional Agraria la Molina, Av. La Molina s/n La Molina, Lima 03, Perú DOI: https://doi.org/10.33017/RevECIPeru2012.0022/ Resumen Los altos porcentajes de concentración de precipitación diaria en pocos días, pueden incrementar potencial de erosión, inestabilidad de laderas y riesgo de inundaciones, siendo estos problemas comunes en el Perú. Por lo que es importante el conocimiento acerca de la precipitación a nivel diario. En este articulo, ha sido llevado a cabo una investigación acerca de los patrones espaciales y temporales de la concentración de precipitación diaria en los Andes centrales del Perú, mediante el índice de concentración (IC), que evalúa la variación de la valoración de precipitación diaria, la contribución de grandes lluvias a la cantidad total presentada. El índice es aplicado a una curva exponencial como Y = aX exp(bX ) , el cual ajusta el porcentaje acumulado de precipitación en Y contribuida por el porcentaje acumulado de días X llevado a cabo en un lugar, en el periodo 1964-2004, con el cual es posible generar superficies de concentración pluviométrica. Donde las máximas concentraciones registradas en el valle del rio Mantaro, posiblemente estén asociadas a la dinámica de los vientos, como la corriente de chorro de Sudamérica, que se adentran al valle proveniente del Norte y Sur. Donde el 25% de días más lluviosos representan el 60% o más de la cantidad total de días con lluvia. Descriptores: índice de concentración, precipitación diaria; curva exponencial; valle del rio Mantaro. Abstract High percentages of the yearly total precipitation concentration in a few very rainy days can increase the potential of erosion, slope instability and risks of floods, these problems are common in Peru. So it is important to know about the daily precipitation. In this paper, an investigation of the spatial and temporal patterns of daily precipitation concentration, in central Andes of Perú, by Concentration index (CI) that evaluates the varying weight of daily precipitation, the contribution of the days of greatest rainfall to the total amount, is presented. The index is applied to exponential curves such as Y = aX exp(bX), which adjust the accumulated percentages of precipitation Y contributed by the accumulated percentage of days X on which it took place, in the period 1964-2004, with which it is possible to generate concentration surfaces daily pluviometric. The highest concentrations recorded in the Mantaro river valley, may be associated with the dynamics of the winds as the jet stream in South America, leading into the valley from the north and south, where 25% of rainy days account for 60% or more of the total number of days with rain. Keywords: concentration index; daily precipitation; exponential curves; Mantaro river valley.

Over the last 20 years several projects carried on the Madeira River basin in the Amazon produced a great amount data on total Hg concentration in different fish species. In this paper we discuss temporal trends in Hg contamination and its relation to body weight in some of those fishes, showing that even within similar groups, such as carnivorous and non-migratory fish, the interspecies variability in Hg accumulation is considerable.
