Aridity Trends in Central America: A Spatial Correlation Analysis
(2020-04-23)
Trend analyses are common in several types of climate change studies. In many cases, finding evidence that the trends are different from zero in hydroclimate variables is of particular interest. However, when estimating ...
Examination of WRF-ARW experiments using different planetary boundary layer parameterizations to study the rapid intensification and trajectory of Hurricane Otto 2016
(2020)
Hurricane Otto (2016) was characterised by remarkable meteorological features of relevance for the scientific community and society. Scientifically, among the most important attributes of Otto is that it underwent a rapid ...
Simulación de la altura máxima de ola en huracanes con trayectorias similares en el mar Caribe y su relación con los impactos costeros generados
(2011-09)
Simulando con modelos numéricos las distribuciones espaciales de la energía de las olas en huracanes con trayectorias similares, se estudia la relación entre las características del huracán y la altura de las olas y la ...
Measurement of raindrop size distributions in tropical rain at Costa Rica
(2006)
This paper presents the results of a unique opportunity of analyzing a large dropsize-
distribution (DSD) sample. Using a well calibrated Optical Spectro Pluviometer sensor for
measuring 1-min DSDs, a sample of one year ...
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 ...
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 ...
Assessment of Central America Regional Climate Outlook Forum maps, 1998-2013
(2016)
Starting 1997, the Regional Climate Outlook Forums or RCOFs have taken place in different Latin American countries, as an effort to generate climatic prediction products. “since 2000, the Forum is organized in Central ...
An 800-year high-resolution black carbon ice core record from Lomonosovfonna, Svalbard, Atmos
(2018)
Produced by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuel and biomass, black carbon (BC) contributes to Arctic warming by reducing snow albedo and thus triggering a snow-albedo feedback leading to increased snowmelt. Therefore, ...
On the rainfall distribution with altitude over Costa Rica.
(Revista Geofísica 44, 57-72, 1996, 1996-01)
Se estudia la distribución de la precipitación vertical en Costa Rica, a lo largo de un perfil topográfico que cruza el pais del Pacífico hasta la costa del mar Caribe. El perfil en montaña, cuyo pico más alto llega a los ...
La estación lluviosa en Centroamérica: Una predicción inicial exitosa
The rainy season in Central America: An initial success in prediction
(1999)
Basado en los resultados de una investigación financiada por el IAI se publicó en marzo de 1999 una predicción para el inicio de la estación lluviosa de 1999 en el sector sureste de América Central. Esta predicción, basada ...
