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 ...
Propuestas metodológicas para el rellenado de datos ausentes en series de tiempo geofísicas. Guía Práctica de uso.
(2016-08)
En un trabajo reciente, Alfaro y Soley (2009), presentaron dos metodologías para el rellenado de datos ausentes, enfocadas hacia su uso en series de tiempo geofísicas. Una de ellas se basó en la descomposición en componentes ...
Discrete Rainfall Predictability Using El Niño/Southern Oscillation Interaction
(2013-01-01)
The objective of the study was to determine the probability of occurrence of wet or dry season events, based on the phase of El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon using multinomial logit regression models. The ...
CMIP5 climate change hydroclimatic projections for Central America
(2019-03-12)
A review of a series of articles related to the use of General Circulation Models (GCMs) projections for characterizing future climate changes in Central America are presented. Previous work using Coupled Model Intercomparison ...
Climatic Features and Their Relationship with Tropical Cyclones Over the Intra-Americas Seas
(2010-08-04)
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 ...

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 ...
El impacto social de algunos ciclones tropicales en América Central durante el siglo XX a través del análisis de fuentes hemerográficas
(2015-01)
Las fuentes históricas hemerográficas son importantes para complementar las bases de datos regionales y disminuir la subestimación de los impactos asociados a los eventos climáticos pasados. Esto es importante no sólo para ...
The role of the meridional sea surface temperature gradient in controlling the Caribbean low-level jet
(2017)
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 ...
Biodiversity and density of subtidal benthos of an oceanic tropical island (a comparison within the Pacific Ocean)
(2016)
The marine macrofauna of the shallow sandy bottom of Isla del Coco, Costa Rica (5°32′N-87°04′W) was assessed in April 2010. Comparisons of richness, density and diversity between levels of exposure to ocean influence were ...
