Central America [in State of the Climate in 2016]
(2017)
Central America experienced anomalies in temperature and precipitation in 2016. Mean temperatures were higher than average, particularly in Puerto Barrios, Choluteca, and San José. The increase in mean temperatures was due ...
Tracing Water Sources and Fluxes in a Dynamic Tropical Environment: From Observations to Modeling
(2020)
Tropical regions cover approximately 36% of the Earth’s landmass. These regions are home to 40% of the world’s population, which is projected to increase to over 50% by 2030 under a remarkable climate variability scenario ...
Central America and the Caribbean
(2016)
This chapter provides summaries of the 2015 temperature and precipitation conditions across seven broad regions: North America, Central America and the Caribbean, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. In most ...

(2015-07)
Most of the dozens of essential climate variables monitored
each year in this report continued to follow their long-term
trends in 2014, with several setting new records. Carbon
dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide the ...
Moisture sources for Central America: Identification of moisture sources using a Lagrangian analysis technique
(2010-03)
We herein present an analysis of the sources of atmospheric moisture for Central America using a Lagrangian technique. The results of backward and forward moisture tracking analysis using the FLEXPART model has enabled the ...
Dynamical downscaling of historical climate over CORDEX Central America domain with a regionally coupled atmosphere–ocean model
(2018-08)
The climate in Mexico and Central America is influenced by the Pacific and the Atlantic oceanic basins and atmospheric conditions over continental North and South America. These factors and important ocean–atmosphere coupled ...

(2021-05-11)
Miniature hyperspectral and thermal cameras onboard lightweight unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) bring new opportunities for monitoring land surface variables at unprecedented fine spatial resolution with acceptable accuracy. ...
Central America [in State of the Climate in 2013]
(2014-07)
In 2013, the vast majority of the monitored climate
variables reported here maintained trends established in
recent decades. ENSO was in a neutral state during the

Projected climate change impacts on tropical life zones in Costa Rica. Progress in Physical Geography: Earth and Environment
(2021)
Efforts to protect tropical ecosystems aim at implementing biological corridors across the national territory of Costa Rica. However, potential near-future climate change challenges the effectiveness of such conservation ...
Tracer hydrology of the data-scarce and heterogeneous Central American Isthmus
(2020)
Numerous socio-economic activities depend on the seasonal rainfall and groundwater recharge cycle across the Central American Isthmus. Population growth and unregulated land use changes resulted in extensive surface water ...
