Oceanic and terrestrial sources of continental precipitation
(American Geophysical Union 50:1-41, 2012-11-08)
The most important sources of atmospheric moisture at the global scale are herein identified, both oceanic and terrestrial, and a characterization is made of how continental regions are influenced by water from different ...
The Caribbean Low-Level Jet, the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone and Precipitation Patterns in the Intra-Americas Sea: A Proposed Dynamical Mechanism
(2015-01-12)
Data from the Global Precipitation Climatology
Project covering Central America, the Caribbean Sea, the
eastern tropical Pacific and northern South America are used
to compute four indexes that describe characteristics ...
Role of moisture transport for Central American precipitation
(2017)
A climatology of moisture sources linked with Central American precipitation was computed based upon Lagrangian trajectories for the analysis period 1980–2013. The response of the annual cycle of precipitation in terms of ...
Central America and the Caribbean
(2016)
This chapter provides summaries of the 2015 temperature and precipitation conditions across seven broad regions: North America, Central America and the Caribbean, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. In most ...
The MILAN campaign: Studying diel light effects on the air-sea interface
(2019)
The sea-surface microlayer (SML) at the air-sea interface is < 1 mm deep but it is physically, chemically and biologically distinct from the underlying water and the atmosphere above. Wind-driven turbulence and solar ...
Preface to stable isotopes in hydrological studies in the tropics: Ecohydrological perspectives in a changing climate
(2019)
Tropical regions (comprised between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, 23.5°N to 23.5°S) cover approximately 36% of the Earth's landmass. They are home to 40% of the world's population, which is projected to increase ...
Deciphering key processes controlling rainfall isotopic variability during extreme tropical cyclones
(2019)
The Mesoamerican and Caribbean (MAC) region is characterized by tropical cyclones (TCs), strong El Niño-Southern Oscillation events, and climate variability that bring unique hazards to socio-ecological systems. Here we ...
Moisture sources for Central America: Identification of moisture sources using a Lagrangian analysis technique
(2010-03)
We herein present an analysis of the sources of atmospheric moisture for Central America using a Lagrangian technique. The results of backward and forward moisture tracking analysis using the FLEXPART model has enabled the ...
Dynamical downscaling of historical climate over CORDEX Central America domain with a regionally coupled atmosphere–ocean model
(2018-08)
The climate in Mexico and Central America is influenced by the Pacific and the Atlantic oceanic basins and atmospheric conditions over continental North and South America. These factors and important ocean–atmosphere coupled ...
Cambios futuros de precipitación y temperatura sobre América Central y el Caribe utilizando proyecciones climáticas de reducción de escala estadística
(2018-01)
En la presente investigación se muestra mediante el uso del conjunto de proyecciones climáticas de reducción de escala estadística pertenecientes al NEX-GDDP, los cambios a largo plazo en precipitación y temperatura que ...
