Conclusions This validation exercise indicates that the PNNL/NCAR dataset does not closely simulate the precipitation regime observed in Peru. As shown, the simulations do not capture the monthly precipitation distribution or the monthly and yearly trends that were observed and verified.

Notes 1. The projection using NCAR-GCM and the downscaling have included Bolivia for reasons of cost-eectiveness and bearing in mind the potential future application of results in that country.
