    • 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 ...
    • Climate Perspectives in the Intra-Americas Seas 

      Durán Quesada, Ana María; Sorí Gómez, Rogert; Ordoñez Pérez, Paulina; Gimeno Presa, Luis (2020)
      The Intra–Americas Seas region is known for its relevance to air–sea interaction processes, the contrast between large water masses and a relatively small continental area, and the occurrence of extreme events. The differing ...
    • Climate precursors of multidecadal drought variability in the western United States 

      Hidalgo León, Hugo G. (2004-12-07)
      Low-frequency (periodicities lower than 20 years) hydrologic variability in the western United States over the past 500 years is studied using available tree-ring reconstructions of Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI), ...

    • Natural variability vs forced signal in the 2015–2019 Central American drought 

      Pascale, Salvatore; Kapnick, Sarah B.; Delworth, Thomas L.; Hidalgo León, Hugo G.; Cooke, William F. (2021)
      The recent multi-year 2015–2019 drought after a multi-decadal drying trend over Central America raises the question of whether anthropogenic climate change (ACC) played a role in exacerbating these events. While the ...
    • Observed Changes (1970-1999) in Extreme Hydroclimatic Events in Central America 

      Hidalgo León, Hugo G.; Alfaro Martínez, Eric J. (2018-04-20)
      Previous studies have shown that most of Central America has been experiencing warming trends during the last 30-50 years, while precipitation annual totals have not changed much. Warming alone can exacerbate the effects ...
    • Precursors of quasi-decadal dry-spells in the Central America Dry Corridor 

      Hidalgo León, Hugo G.; Alfaro Martínez, Eric J.; Amador Astúa, Jorge Alberto; Bastidas Pacheco, Álvaro (2019)
      Although the hydric stress in Central America is generally low, there is a region relatively drier and prone to drought known as the Central America Dry Corridor (CADC). The area of interest is located mainly in the Pacific ...
