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 ...
Distribución espacial de impactos de eventos hidrometeorológicos en América Central
(2016)
América Central está expuesta a la ocurrencia de eventos hidrometeorológicos a lo largo del año y los impactos que estos pueden provocar van a estar mayormente localizados en áreas donde las variables tanto naturales como ...
Skill of CMIP5 climate models in reproducing 20th century basic climate features in Central America
(2014-12)
A total of 107 climate runs from 48 Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project 5 (CMIP5) general circulation models (GCMs) were evaluated for their ability to skillfully reproduce basic characteristics of late 20th century ...
Revisión y comparación de escenarios de cambio climático para el Parque Nacional Isla del Coco, Costa Rica
(Revista Biología Tropical 60(3): 83-112, 2012-11)
Different climate change scenarios were revised and compared for Cocos Island National Park, Costa Rica. They were generated using different tools (MAGICC/SCENGEN, PRECIS and SDSM) and for the 2080 (2070- 2099) time slice. ...
Weather and climate socio-economic impacts in Central America for the management and protection of world heritage sites and the Diquis Delta culture in Costa Rica (a case study)
(Advances in Geosciences, 35, 157–167, 2014, 2014-01-10)
The Central America region hosts a valuable amount of World Heritage Sites (WHS), many of them located in areas of floods, landslides, drought, high winds, intense precipitations, and earthquakes. The effective management ...
Uso de herramientas estadísticas para la predicción estacional del campo de precipitación en América Central como apoyo a los Foros Climáticos Regionales. 2: Análisis de Correlación Canónica.
(Revista de Climatología, Vol 12 (2012): 93-105, 2012-12-20)
Se elaboró un pronóstico climático estacional en América Central basado en el Análisis de Correlación Canónica (ACC). Como predictores se usaron las temperaturas superficiales del mar de los océanos circundantes al istmo ...
Influencia del océano Atlántico tropical sobre el comportamiento de la primera parte de la estación lluviosa en Venezuela
(2000)
The Statistical Ocean Model System, based in Canonical Correlation Analysis, was used to study the relationships between the Tropical Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the precipitation anomalies in Venezuela for the first ...
Predicción estacional de las temperaturas máximas y mínimas en América Central
(Trópicos meteorológicos y oceanográficos 13: 5-26, 2014-06)
Se utilizaron las técnicas estadísticas del análisis de tablas de contingencia y el análisis de correlación canónica para elaborar esquemas predictivos de los campos utilizando el análisis de componentes principales a ...
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 ...
Eventos cálidos y fríos en el Atlántico Tropical Norte
(2000)
The warm an cold events in the Tropical North Atlantic (6-22°n,15-80°w) region are quantified using sea using sea surface temperature (sst) normalizad indices. a arm (cold) event was definied if the 5-mounth running mean ...
