Resumen
Introducción: El Parque Nacional Chirripó ha
tenido cambios climáticos definidos por su ubicación y por
características geológicas, geomorfológicas, ecológicas y
edáficas. Objetivo: Identificar los factores que han
modulado el clima en las altas cimas de Costa Rica.
Métodos: Una revisión bibliográfica en Google Académico
en setiembre de 2021. Resultados: El tema ha sido
estudiado por la geología, geomorfología, palinología y
geografía, reconstruyendo el clima durante el Último
Máximo Glaciar, aproximadamente hace unos 20.000
años en el Parque Nacional Chirripó. Conocemos las
condiciones climatológicas que normalmente han
predominado en el parque durante las últimas décadas y
cómo El Niño–Oscilación del Sur modela el clima actual.
También hay modelos para proyectar las condiciones
climáticas durante todo el siglo XXI en esta área protegida.
Conclusión: Hay suficientes estudios del clima del parque
para promocionar su geoconservación y dar mejores guías
para su manejo.
ABSTRACT. “Past, present, and future of the climate in Chirripó National Park, Costa Rica”. Introduction: Chirripó National Park has been subject to climatic changes reflecting location, as well as geological, geomorphological, ecological and edaphic characteristics. Objective: To identify the factors that have modulated the climate in the high peaks of Costa Rica. Methods: A literature review in Google Scholar during September 2021. Results: The subject has been studied by geology, geomorphology, palynology and geography, reconstructing the climate during the Last Glacial Maximum, approximately 20,000 years ago at Chirripó National Park. We know the climatological conditions that have normally prevailed in the park during the last decades and how the El Niño-Southern Oscillation shapes the current climate. There are also models to project climate conditions throughout the 21st century in this protected area. Conclusion: There are enough studies to provide a basis for the park’s geo-conservation and to improve its management.
