Climate Change, Growth, and California Wildfire
(2009-03)
Large wildfire occurrence and burned area are modeled using hydroclimate and landsurface characteristics under a range of future climate and development scenarios. The range of uncertainty for future wildfire regimes is ...
Assessment of Central America Regional Climate Outlook Forum maps, 1998-2013
(2016)
Starting 1997, the Regional Climate Outlook Forums or RCOFs have taken place in different Latin American countries, as an effort to generate climatic prediction products. “since 2000, the Forum is organized in Central ...
Central America and the Caribbean
(2016)
This chapter provides summaries of the 2015 temperature and precipitation conditions across seven broad regions: North America, Central America and the Caribbean, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. In most ...
Alternative principal components regression procedures for dendrohydrologic reconstructions
(2000-11)
Streamflow reconstruction using tree ring information (dendrohydrology) has traditionally used principal components analysis (PCA) and stepwise regression to form a transfer function. However, PCA has several procedural ...
Comparison of Tree Species Sensitivity to High- and Low-Extreme Hydroclimatic Events
(2001-03)
We present here a six-species comparison of tree-ring growth response to
extremes (below the 30th and above the 70th percentile) in temperature, precipitation,
and corresponding streamflow. The species compared are Pinus ...
Southern Hemisphere Teleconnection Patterns and Their Relation to Australian Hydroclimatic Variation: Potential Precipitation and Streamflow Long-Range Forecasting
(2002)
An exploratory analysis of the relationship between Southern Hemisphere’s (SH) atmospheric/oceanic
variables and streamflow and precipitation variation in Australia is presented. A 2.5o
x2.5o
gridded data of
700mb ...
Observed (1970-1999) climate variability in Central America using a high-resolution meteorological dataset with potential for climate change studies
(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 ...
Las aguas urbanas en Costa Rica
Urban Waters in Costa Rica
(2015-03)
Se presenta una síntesis de los principales temas relacionados con las aguas urbanas
como lo son el abastecimiento, el saneamiento, la salud, las dimensiones físicas
y humanas, las inundaciones y la variabilidad y cambio ...
Understanding uncertainties in future Colorado River streamflow
(Bulletin of the American Meterorological Society 95(1): 58-81, 2014-01)
The Colorado River is the primary water source for more than 30 million people in the United States and Mexico. Recent studies that project streamflow changes in the Colorado River all project annual declines, but the ...
Some physical and socio-economic aspects of climate change in Central America
(Progress in Physical Geography: pp. 1-21, 2012-06)
The relative magnitude of precipitation and temperature changes obtained from 21st-century climate change projections from general circulation models (GCMs) is compared to the changes in a selection of socioeconomic ...
