It also examines how changes in the annual distribution of temperature and precipitation may result in higher frequencies of extreme events in the future.application/vnd.ms-powerpointen-USIn CopyrightModelingTemperaturePrecipitationExtremesClimate changeCmip3EcosystemChanging climate in the Bolivian Altiplano: CMIP3 projections for extremes of temperature and precipitationClima cambiante en el Altiplano de Bolivia: Proyecciones CMIP3 para extrema temperatura y precipitaciónPoster
