Tracing Water Sources and Fluxes in a Dynamic Tropical Environment: From Observations to Modeling
(2020)
Tropical regions cover approximately 36% of the Earth’s landmass. These regions are home to 40% of the world’s population, which is projected to increase to over 50% by 2030 under a remarkable climate variability scenario ...
The October 1891 Cartago (Costa Rica) floods from documentary sources and 20CR data
(2018)
This work comes to fill a fundamental gap in the history of Central American extreme climatic events by putting together qualitative and quantitative historical data and reanalysis information (the 20CR project) for the ...
Some physical and socio-economic aspects of climate change in Central America
(Progress in Physical Geography: pp. 1-21, 2012-06)
The relative magnitude of precipitation and temperature changes obtained from 21st-century climate change projections from general circulation models (GCMs) is compared to the changes in a selection of socioeconomic ...
Associations of decadal to multidecadal sea-surface temperature variability with Upper Colorado River flow
(2007-02)
The relations of decadal to multidecadal (D2M) variability in global sea-surface temperatures (SSTs)
with D2M variability in the flow of the Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB) are examined for the years 1906-
2003. Results ...
La Oscilación Cuasi-bienal, ENOS y acoplamiento de algunos parámetros superficiales y estratosféricos sobre Costa Rica
(1996-02)
La Oscilación Cuasi-bienal (OCB) sobre Costa Rica se identifica claramente en la componente zonal del viento en 50 hPa con un período dominante de cerca de 29 meses. Las fases del este de la OCB parecen estar relacionadas ...
Structure and Detectability of Trends in Hydrological Measures over the Western United States
(2009-08)
This study examines the geographic structure of observed trends in key hydrologically relevant variables across the western United States at ⅛° spatial resolution during the period 1950–99. Geographical regions, latitude ...
Analysis of climate impacts in Costa Rica, Central America, from local historical information sources
(8th Alexander von Humboldt International Conference: Natural Disasters, Global Change, and the Preservation of World Heritage Sites". 12-16/11/2012. Cusco, Perú., 2012-11-12)
Central America and Mexico is a region that account for many World Heritage Sites. Among the climate hazards
that affects this rich world heritage place of the world are the boreal winter cold fronts intrusions, also known ...
Variación de la frecuencia de los ciclones tropicales en el Atlántico y Pacífico Tropical del Este debido a variaciones decadales e interanuales de la Temperatura Superficial del Mar
Variability in the frequency of tropical cyclones in the Atlantic and East Tropical Pacific associated to decadal and interannual SST variability
(Memorias del “XI Congreso Latinoamericano e Ibérico de Meteorología y XIV Congreso Mexicano de Meteorología”, CD electronic document., 2005-03)
Para la cuenca del Atlántico se confirmaron los resultados previos en los cuales periodos anómalamente cálidos (fríos) en la misma tienden a estar asociados con periodos de mayor (menor) frecuencia de huracanes, mientras ...
The Mesoamerican mid-summer drought: the impact of its definition on occurrences and recent changes
(2022)
The mid-summer drought, veranillo or canícula, is
a phenomenon experienced in many areas, including Mexico,
Central America, and the Caribbean. It generally is experienced as reduced rainfall in July–August, in the middle ...
Mediciones climáticas de humedad del aire en los trópicos, con termistores y la ecuación sicrométrica
(1997)
Electronic devices for air humidity measurements with hygroscopic capacitance sensors were tested for periods longer than a year under tropical conditions in Costa Rica. Some of the, showed a calibration drift that produced ...
