Relación entre algunos factores del índice de fragilidad ambiental (IFA) por geoaptitud (decreto N° 32967) y los posibles efectos derivados del cambio climático.
(XLI Mini-Congreso (VI-805-A5-719) del Centro de Investigaciones Geofísicas, 2014-11-20)
Actualmente en Costa Rica existe una normativa legal que sirve de base para la viabilidad de los planes reguladores en función de la fragilidad ambiental. El decreto ejecutivo N°32967 aprobado en el 2006 y de aplicación ...
Exploración de recursos geotérmicos de baja entalpía: Investigaciones en Costa Rica.
(2014-02-28)
La búsqueda mundial del máximo aprovechamiento en la explotación del recurso
geotérmico, ha llevado a tomar en cuenta las fuentes geotérmicas de baja entalpía (<150°C), como una energía alternativa prometedora que ha ...
Design and Characterization of a High Vacuum Metals Deposition System based on Electron Beam Evaporation
(2010-08-03)
We describe a high vacuum metals deposition system based ona variation of a pendant-drop type electron beam evaporator.This system uses a Molybdenum crucible as an evaporantinstead of a rod or wire usually used in ultrathin ...
XIX Simposio Internacional de Métodos Matemáticos Aplicados a las Ciencias
(2014-05-02)
El XIX° Simposio Internacional de Métodos Matemáticos Aplicados a las Ciencias (XIX SIMMAC) es el evento de matemática aplicada más importante de América Central. Es organizado por el Centro de Investigación en Matemática ...
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 ...
Characteristics of Tropical Cyclones Making Landfall on the Pacific Coast of Mexico: 1970-2014
(2015-09)
This study evaluates impacts from tropical cyclone (TC) landfalls on populated areas located along the Pacific Ocean coast of Mexico. The period of interest is from 1970 through 2014 and an international disaster database ...
Discrete analysis for the America west coast rainfall predictability using El Niño/Southern Oscillation relationships
(Memorias del Tercer Congreso de Oceanografía Física, Meteorología y Clima del Pacífico Sur Oriental, 2013-10-16)
The objective of the study was to determine the probability of occurrence of wet or dry season events, based on the phase of El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon using multinomial response logit and logit regression ...
Predicción estacional del veranillo en dos cuencas de la vertiente del Pacífico de Costa Rica, América Central (Seasonal prediction of the mid summer drought in two Pacific slope river basins of Costa Rica, Central America)
(Memorias del VII Congreso de la Red Latinoamericana de Ciencias Ambientales “Forjando sinergias para la sostenibilidad”, 2013-11)
The Eastern Tropical Pacific region is characterized by climate features rarely
observed in tropical regions, one of them is the Mid-Summer Drought (MSD),
“veranillo” or “canícula” in Spanish. On the Pacific slope of ...
On the variability of the Caribbean lowlevel jet during winter: revisited
(Memorias de la European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2014, 2014-04)
The Caribbean low-level jet (CLLJ) is a strong wind current over the Caribbean Sea. Annually it has two peak periods, where February and July being the winter and summer components, respectively. The CLLJ is an important ...
The necessity for tailoring seasonal climate forecast in Central America for urban and coastal areas, including physics and human dimensions
(Memories of the WCRP Conference for Latin America and the Caribbean: Developing, linking, and applying climate knowledge, 2014-03)
Recent assessment analyses in Central America showed that trends in the annual number of impacts and disasters related with hydro-meteorology causes cannot be explained by climate trends only. That means that other ...
