Regional Precipitation Study in Central America, Using the WRF Model
(Examensarbete vid Institutionen för geovetenskaper, pp.1-45, 2012)
Using the regional climate model WRF, and the NCEP-NCAR Reanalysis Project data as boundary and initial conditions, regional precipitation was estimated by means of the dynamical downscaling technique for two selected ...
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 ...
Seasonal prediction of extreme precipitation events and frequency of rainy days over Costa Rica, Central America, using Canonical Correlation Analysis
(Advances in Geosciences 33:41-52, 2013-04-02)
High mountains divide Costa Rica, Central America, into two main climate regions, the Pacific and Caribbean slopes, which are lee and windward, respectively, according to the North Atlantic trade winds – the dominant wind ...
Predicción estacional para ASO de eventos extremos y días con precipitación sobre las vertientes Pacífico y Caribe de América Central, utilizando análisis de correlación canónica
Seasonal prediction of extreme precipitation events, and frequency of rainy days for ASO over the
Pacific and Caribbean slopes of Central America using Canonical Correlation Analysis
Models were generated based on Canonical Correlation Analysis for prediction of extreme precipitation events during August-September-October (ASO), using as predictor the Sea Surface Temperature (SST) due to the hydrological ...
Revisión y comparación de escenarios de cambio climático para el Parque Nacional Isla del Coco, Costa Rica
(Revista Biología Tropical 60(3): 83-112, 2012-11)
Different climate change scenarios were revised and compared for Cocos Island National Park, Costa Rica. They were generated using different tools (MAGICC/SCENGEN, PRECIS and SDSM) and for the 2080 (2070- 2099) time slice. ...
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 ...
Aspects of climate variability during winter and summer in Central America
(2015-11-11)
Climate variability during winter and summer in Central America is examined. In winter, we focused on the interaction between El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), the Caribbean low-level ...
Propuesta metodológica para la predicción climática estacional de eventos extremos y días con precipitación. Estudio de caso: Sur de América Central
Seasonal climate prediction of extreme precipitation events and frequency of rainy days in the South of Central America as a study case. A methodological proposal.
(2011-11-10)
Se describe una propuesta metodológica en donde se ajustaron modelos estadísticos usando el Análisis de Correlación Canónica para la predicción climática estacional del acumulado de precipitación, los días con precipitación, ...
Comparación de las salidas del modelo MM5v3 con datos observados en la Isla del Coco, Costa Rica
Outputs of regional climate model MM5 have been compared with observations in situ over Coco’s Island, Costa Rica
(2011-02)
Se presenta la comparación de las salidas del modelo MM5 con datos tomados in situ en la Isla del Coco, Costa Rica. Las observaciones fueron realizadas en tres expediciones hechas a la isla en octubre del 2007, abril del ...
Inter-annual variability of rainfall in Central America: Connection with global and regional climate modulators
(2016)
Central America is a region regularly affected by natural disasters, with most of them having a hydrometeorological origin. Therefore, the understanding of annual changes of precipitation upon the region is relevant for ...
