Connections between the Intertropical Convergence Zone and other climatic features in Central America
(2013-05-30)
This work explores statistical connections between the displacements and strength of the Intertropical Convergence
Zone (ITCZ) and the Caribbean Low Level Jet (CLLJ). Indicators of the position and of the strength of the ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
A climatology of low level wind regimes over Central America using a weather type classification approach
(2015-04)
Based on the potential of the weather types classification method to study synoptic
features, this study proposes the application of such methodology for the identification
of the main large scale patterns related with ...
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 ...
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 ...
La Corriente en Chorro del Caribe: Observaciones, modelado multifísica, interacciones multiescala e impacto regional
(2018-06)
El tema central de la propuesta es el estudio de la Corriente en Chorro del Caribe (CLLJ por sus siglas en inglés). El CLLJ es uno de los mecanismos físicos más importantes para entender el clima, la variabilidad climática ...
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 ...
