Multiple regressions, wavelet spectra, and Fourier spectra were employed to analyze fluctuations in the surface areas of 2 Patagonian lakes during 1998–2015 and relate these to fluctuations in precipitation, evaporation, river discharge, and 2 southern climate modes, the Antarctic Oscillation (AAO)...
