Temperatura, Precipitación y Caudal en Panamá. Parte II: ENOS y Cambio climático
(1998-07)En este trabajo se analizaron series de valores medios mensuales de temperatura máxima y media, de precipitación y caudal para diferentes estaciones en la República de Panamá en relación con El Niño-Oscilación del Sur ... -
El temporal de enero 2000: sus características e impactos socio-económicos sobre las comunidades próximas a la cuenca de la Laguna de Arenal y de la región Huetar Norte
(2009)Los fenómenos y procesos climáticos forman parte integral del sistema climático terrestre y son estudiados en consecuencia, pero también adquieren relevancia en tanto son detonantes de desastres, en algunos casos de ... -
Tendencias hacia condiciones hidrológicas más secas en Centroamérica (1982- 2005)
(2013-11-11)Se presenta un resumen de los resultados de proyecciones hidrológicas de 30 modelos de circulación general (MCG) a final de siglo y se analizan si varios parámetros hidrometeorológicos presentan tendencias (1982-2005) ... -
The 1877-1878 Mega Niño and its social impact in Costa Rica, Central America
(2018-10)This work analyzes the social impact of the 1877-1878 Mega-Niño event in Costa Rica, through the comparison of data about droughts, rains, locust plagues and epidemics, collected from documentary sources and the analysis ... -
The Caribbean Low-Level Jet, the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone and Precipitation Patterns in the Intra-Americas Sea: A Proposed Dynamical Mechanism
(2015-01-12)Data from the Global Precipitation Climatology Project covering Central America, the Caribbean Sea, the eastern tropical Pacific and northern South America are used to compute four indexes that describe characteristics ... -
The Central American Dry Corridor: A Consensus Statement and its Background
(2019)A unique gathering of climate, development and environmental experts took place from September 25-28, 2017 in San José and Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica. The subject of their deliberations was the Central American Dry ... -
The effects of El Niño on agricultural water balance in Guatemala
(2011-04-26)More than half the population of Guatemala lives in rural areas and depends on subsistence agriculture for their well being. This region is vulnerable to many climatic events, one of which is El Niño. This study looks at ... -
The Intra-Americas Sea Low-level Jet
(2008-12-05)A relevant climate feature of the Intra‐Americas Sea (IAS) is the low‐level jet (IALLJ) dominating the IAS circulation, both in summer and winter; and yet it is practically unknown with regard to its nature, structure, ... -
The Midsummer Drought over Mexico and Central America
(1998-06)The annual cycle of precipitation over the southern part of Mexico and Central America exhibits a bimodal distribution with maxima during June and September–October and a relative minimum during July and August, known as ... -
The MILAN campaign: Studying diel light effects on the air-sea interface
(2019)The sea-surface microlayer (SML) at the air-sea interface is < 1 mm deep but it is physically, chemically and biologically distinct from the underlying water and the atmosphere above. Wind-driven turbulence and solar ... -
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 ... -
The October 1891 Cartago (Costa Rica) floods from documentary sources and 20CR data
(2018)This work comes to fill a fundamental gap in the history of Central American extreme climatic events by putting together qualitative and quantitative historical data and reanalysis information (the 20CR project) for the ... -
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 ... -
The utility of daily large-scale climate data in the assessment of climate change impacts on daily streamflow in California
(2010-06-30)Three statistical downscaling methods were applied to NCEP/NCAR reanalysis (used as a surrogate for the best possible general circulation model), and the downscaled meteorology was used to drive a hydrologic model over ... -
The Western U.S. Drought: How Bad Is It?
(2014-08-10)Historical stream flow records and the forecast for 2004 make the current (1999–2004) drought in the southwestern United States the worst one in the past 80 years for portions of the Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB). For ... -
