Riesgos hidrometeorológicos en el Corredor Seco Centroamericano: Investigación, acción social y docencia dentro del Espacio de Estudios Avanzados de la Universidad de Costa Rica
(2020)
Aunque América Central está localizada en zonas tropicales donde el
estrés hídrico es relativamente bajo en gran parte de su territorio, hay
ciertas regiones donde las sequías son frecuentes. En especial, la
aridez ...
Spatial and temporal patterns, trends and teleconnection of cumulative rainfall deficits across Central America
(2018)
Central America is a region vulnerable to hydrometeorological threats. Recently, the impacts of droughts caused higher economic losses in comparison to, for example, floods and landslides. This study focuses on the ...
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 ...
Central America [in State of the Climate in 2015]
(2016)
The text discusses the analysis of weather stations in the region, including stations on both the Caribbean and Pacific slopes. Data from the NOAA/NCEI GHCN daily precipitation dataset for 2015 showed significant missing ...
Changes in solar irradiance and atmospheric turbidity in Costa Rica during the total solar eclipse of July 11, 1991
(1993)
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 ...
Detection and Attribution of Temperature Changes in the Mountainous Western United States
(2008-04-22)
Large changes in the hydrology of the western United States have been observed since the mid-twentieth century. These include a reduction in the amount of precipitation arriving as snow, a decline in snowpack at low and ...
Visualization of 40 Years of Tropical Cyclone Positions and Their Rainfall
(2021)
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 ...
Changes in Meteorological Variables in Coronel Oviedo, Paraguay, During the Total Solar Eclipse of 3 November 1994
(1996)
Solar global radiation, air temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed were measured
in Coronel Oviedo, Paraguay, within the path of totality of the eclipse of 3 November 1994. Global
radiation decreased gradually ...
Characterising droughts in Central America with uncertain hydro-meteorological data
(2018)
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 ...
Hydrological climate change projections for Central America
(Journal of Hydrology 495: 94–112, 2013-05-04)
Runoff climate change projections for the 21st century were calculated from a suite of 30 General Circulation Model (GCM) simulations for the A1B emission scenario in a 0.5 0.5 grid over Central America. The GCM data ...
