Observed Changes (1970-1999) in Extreme Hydroclimatic Events in Central America

Hidalgo León, Hugo G.; Alfaro Martínez, Eric J. (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 ...

Observed (1970-1999) climate variability in Central America using a high-resolution meteorological dataset with potential for climate change studies

Alfaro Martínez, Eric J.; Quesada Montano, Beatriz; Hidalgo León, Hugo G. (2015-10)

Average temperature (Tavg) data from stations and station-based gridded datasets at 50 km resolution were used to provide a high-resolution (5 km grid) dataset for Central America from 1970 to 1999. The procedure used ...

Discrete analysis for the America west coast rainfall predictability using El Niño/Southern Oscillation relationships
