(Memorias del Segundo Congreso de Oceanografía Física, Meteorología y Clima del Pacífico Sudoriental. Coquimbo, Chile. 5 – 7 de octubre de 2011., 2011-10)Se analizaron nueve registros de la temperatura subsuperficial del mar observada en Bahía Culebra, Costa Rica. A partir de estos registros, se identificaron cinco estudios de caso asociados a enfriamientos de la temperatura ... -
Frecuencia de los ciclones tropicales que afectaron a Costa Rica durante el siglo XX
(2003)Se estudia la frecuencia de ciclones tropicales que pasaron por el Mar Caribe y que afectaron indirectamente a Costa Rica durante el siglo XX. De un total de 125 ciclones, ninguno de ellos pasó sobre Costa Rica, siendo la ... -
Future Changes in Simulated Streamflow in Costa Rica from CMIP6 climate models
(2022-06-21)Statistically downscaled daily data from an ensemble of five General Circulation Models (GCMs) from the Climate Model Intercomparison Program 6 (CMIP6) will be used to determine changes (with respect to a baseline historical ... -
Future changes in the ecosystem services at Guanacaste Conservation Area, Costa Rica and their implications for the nearby communities of the Central American Dry Corridor
(2022)We present a valuation of the main ecosystem services of the Rincon de la Vieja National Park (RVNP), as part of the Guanacaste Conservation Area (GCA) in the North Pacific of Costa Rica. The analysis consisted of an ... -
Geomorphology of the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica
(2019)Costa Rica’s Caribbean coastline is the result of a complex tectonic setting coupled with dynamic geological, climatological, hydrological and ecological processes. Despite their importance in risk prevention and in land ... -
Global Model selection for evaluation of Climate Change projections in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Seascape
(Revista Biología Tropical 60 (3): 67-81, 2012-11)Two methods for selecting a subset of simulations and/or general circulation models (GCMs) from a set of 30 available simulations are compared: 1) Selecting the models based on their performance on reproducing 20th century ... -
Global Sources of Moisture: characterization and study of its variability
(2015)The current work is a climatological study and characterization of the global sources of moisture for continental precipitation based on a Lagrangian analysis technique. It consists of a synopsis of a series of articles ... -
Headwaters drive streamflow and lowland tracer export in a large‐scale humid tropical catchment
(2020)Headwaters are generally assumed to contribute the majority of water to downstream users, but how much water, of what quality and where it is generated are rarely known in the humid tropics. Here, using monthly monitoring ... -
