Climate warming, Colombia, Observed data of precipitation and temperatura, Long term averagesAbstract
The changes on climatic variables precipitation and temperature are evaluated in six main Colombian basins. The changes were evaluated through the University of Delaware Air Temperature & Precipitation (UD-ATP) database, which has data from 1901 to 2010. The work includes significance tests of estimated change, limited by both UD-ATP database spatial resolution and spatial cover. Most basins which were analyzed showed a significant temperature increase during twentieth century, together with precipitation amount reduction, mainly in the Andes mountains and the Pacific region
