ABSTRACT Clarifying the El Niño impacts on regional land surface radiation absorption (SRA) could deepen our understanding of El Niño’s climate change driving mechanisms. In this study, impacts from the January-to-April-2016 strong El Niño event on SRA along the west coast of Peru are evaluated based on the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) dataset, which could provide longer-term, more consistent and higher temporal sampling rate observations, to complement current low-orbit-satellite-based research. Results show that the strong El Niño events lasting from January to April in 2016 would substantially reduce the SRA in the low-latitude region (latitudes ranges from 3° S to 7° S) of Peru by decreasing the regional atmospheric transmittance. It is also found that such negative El Niño impacts on SRA become weaker at higher-latitude regions in Peru.
