Climatic Cycles and Gradients of the El Niño Core Region in North Peru by Rütger Rollenbeck, Fabian Bayer, Jannes Münchow, Michael Richter, Rodolfo Rodriguez, Nestor Atarama

“…Also, there are regional factors: an extended sea-breeze system, the barrier-effect of the Andes, additional energy input by elevated radiation absorption at the mountain slopes, local wind systems, and the variations of the sea surface temperature. At the coast, a low-level jet works as a thermodynamic energy sink, suppressing deep convection and supporting the aridity. …”
