Regionalization of climate over the Argentine Pampas

This research paper describes a climatic zoning study of the Argentine Pampas using data from 33 National Meteorological Service stations between 1960 and 2010 to define eight distinct climatic subregions.

• The study utilized a cluster analysis based on the hierarchical method of Ward and interval squared Euclidean distance to classify the climate of the Pampas, resulting in the identification of eight climatic subregions.
• Climatic patterns in the region are characterized by a north-south temperature gradient influenced by the Pampean hills in Córdoba and the Tandilia and Ventania hills in Buenos Aires Province, while precipitation follows a northeast-southwest gradient with a semi-arid environment in the southwest diagonal.
• The research found that average humidity values are determined by proximity to the sea, and strong intensity winds are primarily registered in the western and southern parts of the region.
