Análisis de los conglomerados de precipitación y sus cambios estacionales sobre América Central para el período 1976-2015
Analysis of precipitation clusters and their seasonal changes over Central America for the 1976-2015 period
(2021-07-08)
La ubicación geográfica de América Central juega un papel importante en la descripción de la variabilidad climática de la región. Está rodeada por dos grandes masas de agua, el Pacífico Tropical del Este en el lado occidental ...
Efecto del estrés calórico sobre la producción de ganado lechero en Costa Rica
Heat stress effect on dairy cattle production in Costa Rica
(2019-09)
Introducción. La producción lechera en zonas tropicales se caracteriza por una alta dependencia del recurso forrajero, lo que la hace sensible a las variables climáticas, de las cuales existe información limitada sobre su ...
California Climate Change Center Report Series Number 2008-0XX
(2008-06)
Four dynamic regional climate models (RCMs) and one statistical downscaling
approach were used to downscale 10 years of historical climate in California. To isolate
possible limitations of the downscaling methods, we ...
Assessment of Central America Regional Climate Outlook Forum maps, 1998-2013
(2016)
Starting 1997, the Regional Climate Outlook Forums or RCOFs have taken place in different Latin American countries, as an effort to generate climatic prediction products. “since 2000, the Forum is organized in Central ...
Downscaling With Constructed Analogues: Daily Precipitation and Temperature Fields Over The United States
(2008-01)
Daily precipitation and average temperature patterns for the contiguous United States were
downscaled from a 2.5 x 2.5 degree (coarse) resolution grid to a 1/8 x 1/8 degree (fine) resolution
grid using a constructed‐analogues ...
Some physical and socio-economic aspects of climate change in Central America
(Progress in Physical Geography: pp. 1-21, 2012-06)
The relative magnitude of precipitation and temperature changes obtained from 21st-century climate change projections from general circulation models (GCMs) is compared to the changes in a selection of socioeconomic ...
Can climate variability information constrain a hydrological model for an ungauged Costa Rican catchment?
(2018)
Long‐term hydrological data are key to understanding catchment behaviour and for decision making within water management and planning. Given the lack of observed data in many regions worldwide, such as Central America, ...
Precursors of quasi-decadal dry-spells in the Central America Dry Corridor
(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 ...
Detection and Attribution of Streamflow Timing Changes to Climate Change in the Western United States
(2009-07)
This article applies formal detection and attribution techniques to investigate the nature of observed shifts in the timing of streamflow in the western United States. Previous studies have shown that the snow hydrology ...
