Can climate variability information constrain a hydrological model for an ungauged Costa Rican catchment?
Quesada Montano, Beatriz; Westerberg, Ida K.; Fuentes Andino, Diana; Hidalgo León, Hugo G.; Halldin, Sven (2018)Long‐term hydrological data are key to understanding catchment behaviour and for decision making within water management and planning. Given the lack of observed data in many regions worldwide, such as Central America, ... -
Characterising droughts in Central America with uncertain hydro-meteorological data
Quesada Montano, Beatriz; Wetterhall, Fredrik; Westerberg, Ida K.; Hidalgo León, Hugo G.; Halldin, Sven (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 ... -
Historical daily precipitation patterns for Central America generated using constructed analogues from satellite and ground- based observations
Quesada Montano, Beatriz (2011-03)The constructed analogues (CA) method was applied to downscale daily precipitation patterns from a 0.5° x 0.5° to a 0.25° x 0.25° spatial resolution for the period of 1958 to 1997 for the Central American region. The ... -
Hydro-Climatic Variability and Change in Central America. Supporting Risk Reduction Through Improved Analyses and Data
Quesada Montano, Beatriz (2017)Floods and droughts are frequent in Central America and cause large social, economic and environmental impacts. A crucial step in disaster risk reduction is to have a good understanding of the causing mechanisms of extreme ... -
Observed (1970-1999) climate variability in Central America using a high-resolution meteorological dataset with potential for climate change studies
Alfaro Martínez, Eric J.; Quesada Montano, Beatriz; Hidalgo León, Hugo G. (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 ... -
Observed (1970–1999) climate variability in Central America using a high-resolution meteorological dataset with implication to climate change studies
Hidalgo León, Hugo G.; Alfaro Martínez, Eric J.; Quesada Montano, Beatriz (2016)High spatial resolution of precipitation (P) and average air temperature (Tavg) datasets are ideal for determining the spatial patterns associated with large-scale atmospheric and oceanic indexes, and climate change and ... -
Smiling in the rain: Seven reasons to be positive about uncertainty in hydrological modelling
Juston, John M.; Kauffeldt, Anna; Quesada Montano, Beatriz; Seibert, Jan; Beven, Keith J.; Westerberg, Ida K. (Processes Hydrological Processes Vol. 27(7): 1117–1122, 2012-03-30)Over 20 years ago, the notion of ‘positive uncertainty’ was introduced in the field of psychology (Gelatt, 1989). This was coincident to some developments in the hydrological sciences (e.g. Beven and Binley, 1992; Grayson ... -
Variability of Climate and Water Resources in Central America
Quesada Montano, Beatriz (2012-10-23)Disasters induced by natural phenomena have affected the society since the early days. Extreme hydro meteorological events are perhaps one of the most common causes of nature-induced disasters. In Central America in ...
