| Abstract | The Valparaiso Region in its continental area is located under the influence of a Mediterraneanclimate. Analyses of data from meteorological stations and climatic surfaces suggest that elevationand topographical position respect to Andes and Coastal Cordilleras determine the climatic variationwithin the Region. Climate change projections in the continental area indicate a general trend to anincrease of temperature and a decrease of precipitation. Based on cluster analyses, five bioclimatescan be recognised in the continental area of the Region of Valparaiso: coastal bioclimate, inlandbioclimate, inland mountain bioclimate, pre-Andean and Andean bioclimate. The insular area of theJuan Fernandez Archipelago is also under the influence of a Mediterranean climate, although withmore humid conditions than in the continental area. Easter Island has a tropical bioclimate. Eachbioclimate is briefly described in terms of distribution, and climatic and vegetation features. |
