Figure 2. Empirical cumulative distribution functions (ecdfs) for the distance to the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, Elevation, Latitude and Longitude corresponding to the location of the precipitation (circles) and temperature (triangles) observatories. Solid lines represent the ecdfs from 1 km gridded data sets for the entire Bolivia.
