Tsunamis and tsunami prepardness in Costa Rica, Central America
(2005-12)
Pacific and Atlantic sides of Costa Rica there are coastal segments characterised by a flat relief, which increases the vulnerability of the coastal communities. In addition to tsunamis originating in the Middle American ...
Los albores de la física y el desarrollo de la meteorología en Costa Rica
(2002)
El siguiente artículo describe algunos aspectos del desarrollo de la física en Costa Rica, con énfasis en el siglo XIX. El trabajo está basado en una investigación bibliográfica de fuentes históricas, donde se compilaron ...
The 2:3:6 quasi-periodic oscillation structure in GRS 1915+105 and cubic subharmonics in the context of relativistic discoseismology
(Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 440:3011-3015, 2014-06-01)
We propose a simple toy model to explain the 2:3:6 quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) structure in GRS 1915+105 and, more generally, the 2:3 QPO structure in XTE J1550−564, GRO J1655−40 and H1743−322. The model exploits the ...
Algunas ideas para lograr un mayor desarrollo científico y tecnológico en Costa Rica
(2000)
El propósito de este capítulo, el cual está basado en el trabajo de Fernández y Páez (2000), es describir las actividades en Ciencias Espaciales que se están llevando a cabo en Costa Rica, estas actividades están centradas ...
Do Magnetic Fields Destroy Black Hole Accretion Disk g-Modes?
(2015-08-04)
Diskoseismology, the theoretical study of normal-mode oscillations in geometrically thin, optically thick accretion disks, is a strong candidate for explaining some quasi-periodic oscillations in the power spectra of many ...
Distribución espacial de impactos de eventos hidrometeorológicos en América Central
(2016)
América Central está expuesta a la ocurrencia de eventos hidrometeorológicos a lo largo del año y los impactos que estos pueden provocar van a estar mayormente localizados en áreas donde las variables tanto naturales como ...
Tropical precipitation anomalies and d‐excess evolution during El Niño 2014‐16
(2016)
The last 2014-16 El Niño event was among the three strongest episodes on record. El Niño considerably changes annual and seasonal precipitation across the tropics. Here, we present a unique stable isotope data set of daily ...
Observed Changes (1970-1999) in Extreme Hydroclimatic Events in Central America
(2018-04-20)
Previous studies have shown that most of Central America has been experiencing warming trends during the last 30-50 years, while precipitation annual totals have not changed much. Warming alone can exacerbate the effects ...
The early rainy season in Central America: the role of thetropical North Atlantic SSTs
(2016)
We explored the relationship between the precipitation anomalies during May to June as the first peak of the rainy season in the Pacific slope of Central America, and sea surface temperature (SST) fluctuations in the ...
(Hydro)climatological studies of climate change and variability in Central America
(2018-06-26)
This is the presentation of Hugo Hidalgo at the CORDEX Central America and South America Training Workshop on Downscaling Techniques, in La Paz, Bolivia, June 25 to 27, 2018.
