Resumen:
Near-normal to slightly-below-normal temperatures were observed over most of southern South America during 2010, with anomalies ranging between -0.5°C and +0.0°C (Fig. 7.12a). During austral summer (January? February 2010), positive anomalies were observedin northern Argentina, Uruguay, and central Chile. This behavior was accompanied by positive minimum temperature anomalies and heavy rainfall during El Niño. Furthermore, northern Argentina was affected by a warm air mass, bringing the highest minimumtemperature on record since 1961. However, in February, Patagonia, Rio Gallegos, and San Julián in southern Argentina, and Coyahique and Balmaceda in Chile recorded very low temperatures, leading to the coldest February in the past 50 years................
