Solar global radiation was measured in several places in Costa Rica during the total solar eclipse that ocurred in July 11, 1991. In two of these places, Puntarenas and Santa Cruz, measurements in yhe ultraviolet range ...

Central America is frequently affected by droughts that cause significant socio-economic and environmental problems. Drought characterisation, monitoring and forecasting are potentially useful to support water resource ...

While significant progress has been made in seasonal climate prediction in recent years, summertime mid-latitude climate prediction remains problematic [e.g., Gershunov and Cayan, 2003]. Several previous studies have ...

The effect of the Robbby number in the shedding of vortices and the associated surface pressure drag is investigated. Four different case studies are analysed, namely Ro=∞, Ro=0.2, Ro=0.4 and Ro=0.8. The flows investigated ...

Exploiting the fact that natural languages are complex systems, the present exploratory article proposes a direct method based on frequency distributions that may be useful when making a decision on the status of problematic ...

This article focuses on a visualization of tropical cyclone track data occurring over a 40- year period (1970–2010) and their relationship with (extremely) heavy rainfall reported by 88 Central American weather stations. The ...

Diskoseismology, the theoretical study of small adiabatic hydrodynamical global perturbations of geometrically thin, optically thick accretion disks around black holes (and other compact objects), is a potentially powerful ...

Otto (2016) es el primer huracán en la historia documentada de ciclones tropicales de haber alcanzado directamente Costa Rica. Este trabajo analiza las descargas eléctricas (DE) de Otto en noviembre 2016 en su paso desde ...

Se propone estudiar la influencia de las condiciones externas más cercanas a una comunidad científica sobre las creencias personales a las que se tienden a acoger los individuos que forman parte de esta comunidad. Para ...

Se prueban diversos Algoritmos de Control de Calidad de Datos (ACCD) para precipitación, con el fin de sugerir metodologías alternativas para detección de posibles valores atípicos generados por pluviómetros de balancín ...
