  abstract = {{T}his study assessed the climate conditions that caused the tropical {Z}ongo {G}lacier (16 degrees {S}, {B}olivia) to reach its {L}ittle {I}ce {A}ge ({LIA}) maximum extent in the late 17th century. {W}e carried out sensitivity analyses of the annual surface mass balance to different physically coherent climate scenarios constrained by information taken from paleoclimate proxies and sensitivity studies of past glacier advances. {T}hese scenarios were constrained by a 1.1 {K} cooling and a 20% increase in annual precipitation compared to the current climate. {S}easonal precipitation changes were constructed using shuffled input data for the model: measurements of air temperature and relative humidity, precipitation, wind speed, incoming short and longwave radiation fluxes, and assessed using a distributed energy balance model. {T}hey were considered plausible if conditions close to equilibrium glacier-wide mass balance were obtained. {R}esults suggest that on top of a 1.1 {K} cooling and similar to 20% increase in annual precipitation, only two seasonal precipitation patterns allow {LIA} equilibrium: evenly distributed precipitation events across the year and an early wet season onset.},
