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 ...

In this chapter, indexes of the Intra-Americas or Caribbean Low-Level Jet (IALLJ or CLLJ, respectively), Niño 3, Tropical North Atlantic (NATL), Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), and Outgoing Long Wave Radiation ...

The Caribbean low‐level jet (CLLJ) is an important modulator of regional climate, especially precipitation, in the Caribbean and Central America. Previous work has inferred, due to their semiannual cycle, an association ...

Although the hydric stress in Central America is generally low, there is a region relatively drier and prone to drought known as the Central America Dry Corridor (CADC). The area of interest is located mainly in the Pacific ...

Using the regional climate model WRF, and the NCEP-NCAR Reanalysis Project data as boundary and initial conditions, regional precipitation for Central America was estimated by means of the dynamical downscaling technique ...

Los Modelos de Circulación General Atmosféricos-Oceánicos Acoplados muestran buena habilidad para simular la evolución de las circulaciones de escala global. Sin embargo, esta bondad no es muy útil para el estudio de ...

Una alta variabilidad espacio-temporal en la temperatura y la precipitación son características del territorio costarricense, con una diferencia climática fuerte entre las dos vertientes, la Pacífica y el Caribe. La primera ...
