Precursors of quasi-decadal dry-spells in the Central America Dry Corridor
(2019)
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 ...
Interannual variability of the midsummer drought in Central America and the connection with sea surface temperatures
(2016)
The midsummer drought (MSD) in Central America is characterised in order to create annual indexes representing the timing of its phases (start, minimum and end), and other features relevant for MSD forecasting such as the ...
Dos propuestas de clasificación climática para la vertiente Caribe costarricense según el sistema de Thornthwaite
(2017-01)
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Métodos de reducción de escala: aplicaciones al tiempo, clima, variabilidad climática y cambio climático
(2009)
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 ...
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 ...
Atmospheric circulation types controlling rainfall in the Central American Isthmus
(2022)
Rainfall mechanisms in the Central American Isthmus are controlled by complex
physical interactions across spatial and temporal scales, which are reflected on the
dynamics of atmospheric circulation patterns affecting ...
Regional precipitation estimations in Central America using the Weather Research and Forecast model
Estimaciones de precipitación regional en América Central usando el model Weather Research and Forecast
(2018-04)
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 ...
The early rainy season in Central America: the role of thetropical North Atlantic SSTs
(2016)
We explored the relationship between the precipitation anomalies during May to June as the first peak of the rainy season in the Pacific slope of Central America, and sea surface temperature (SST) fluctuations in the ...
