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. ...
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 ...
La Corriente en Chorro del Caribe: Observaciones, modelado multifísica, interacciones multiescala e impacto regional
(2018-06)
El tema central de la propuesta es el estudio de la Corriente en Chorro del Caribe (CLLJ por sus siglas en inglés). El CLLJ es uno de los mecanismos físicos más importantes para entender el clima, la variabilidad climática ...
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 ...
The Caribbean Low-Level Jet: relationship with climate and weather in Central America
(2013-04-25)
Central America and the Caribbean region is conformed by countries and islands among the poorest of the Americas and even of the world. Many of their inhabitants are living in prone areas to natural disasters. It has been ...
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 ...
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 ...
A Tri-dimensional Approach to Climate Sciences
(2018)
Climate variability on seasonal and inter-annual time scales, as manifested through years of flood versus drought conditions, represent a significant challenge for Central America. A good or bad rainfall season impacts ...
