摘要: The north-trending Andean Cordillera is the highest landmass in Southern Hemisphere. Lenters et al.1 and Cook2 used general circulation model (GCM) experiments to show that high elevation of Andes combines with their narrow width generate marked perturbations South America’s climate, even though far-field effects on global climate are small. By extrapolation, topographic uplift chain probably perturbed paleoclimate America. This paper summarizes history between 16° 33°3O′S (Fig. 1), a zone spans tropics, subtropical high-pressure belt, northern margin westerlies.3
