In order to capture and analyze the full range of decade to century-long fluctuations of water resources in the Andes between 30º and 37ºS, we are testing a series of multiple regression models and preliminary reconstructions of snowpack and streamflows using th well-replicated, moisture-sensitive tree ring width chronologies from the Chilean side of the central Andes
