Temperature extremes in the Argentina central region and their monthly relationship with the mean circulation and ENSO phases

The aim of this study is to analyse the interannual variability of monthly climatic indices of extreme daily temperature in the central-north region of Argentina throughout a year and its relationship with the atmospheric circulation. The impact of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) over different...
