  abstract = {{M}odern hydrology relies on multiple sources of information combined with climatological, hydrological and glaciological data. {T}hese data can be collected through various sources such as private initiatives by companies, research programs, and both national and international organisms. {T}hey also vary by types, e.g., in situ measurements, satellite, reanalysis and simulated data. {R}ecently the {ANDEX} research project, as a {GEWEX} regional program, was created to understand the processes related to the hydrological cycle and energy fluxes in the {A}ndean region from {C}olombia to {P}atagonia. {I}t is quite challenging to carry out this program given the complex orography and diversity of climates from tropical to sub-polar climates. {T}his review article is a compilation of the various databases that are useful for hydrometeorological research in the {S}outh {A}merican {A}ndes. {T}he {N}ational {M}eteorological and {H}ydrological {S}ervices in {B}olivia, {C}hile, {C}olombia, {E}cuador, {P}eru, {V}enezuela and {A}rgentina provide a large amount of data however the high-elevation areas are poorly instrumented and the number of stations varies greatly between the countries. {N}ational databases are only partially shared with the international bodies responsible for summarizing the existing data; this causes problems in term of data product assimilation. {A}cross the entire continent, too few radiosondes are being used despite the fact that these data are crucial for validating and identifying problems in the atmospheric models. {A}n increasing number of satellite data are available but it is difficult to assimilate them into the hydroclimatological models suited to the adjusted spatial and temporal resolutions. {S}pecifically, for precipitation, we recommend merged products that account for the high spatial and temporal variability across the {A}ndes. {F}inally, the international {ANDEX} program could be an excellent opportunity to increase the knowledge of the hydrological processes in the {A}ndes.},
