摘要
In January 2003, shallow firn cores were recovered from Glaciar Esmeralda on Cerro del Plomo (33 degrees 14'S, 70 degrees 13'W, 5300 m.a.s.l.), central Chile, and from Glaciar La Ollada on Cerro Mercedario (31 degrees 58'S, 70 degrees 07'W; 6070 m.a.s.l.), Argentina, in order to find a suitable archive for paleoclimate reconstruction in a region strongly influenced by the El Nino-Southern Oscillation. In the area between 28 degrees S and 35 degrees S, the amount of winter precipitation is significantly correlated to the Southern Oscillation Index, with higher values during El Nino years. Glaciochemical analysis indicates that the paleo-record at Glaciar La Ollada is well preserved, whereas at Glaciar Esmeralda the record is strongly influenced by meltwater formation and percolation. A preliminary dating of the Mercedario core by annual-layercounting results in atime-span of 17years (1986-2002), yieldingan average annual net accumulation of 0.45 m w.e.
