Hydrological climate change projections for Central America
(Journal of Hydrology 495: 94–112, 2013-05-04)
Runoff climate change projections for the 21st century were calculated from a suite of 30 General Circulation Model (GCM) simulations for the A1B emission scenario in a 0.5 0.5 grid over Central America. The GCM data ...
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 ...
Global Model selection for evaluation of Climate Change projections in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Seascape
(Revista Biología Tropical 60 (3): 67-81, 2012-11)
Two methods for selecting a subset of simulations and/or general circulation models (GCMs) from a set of 30 available simulations are compared: 1) Selecting the models based on their performance on reproducing 20th century ...
Observed (1970–1999) climate variability in Central America using a high-resolution meteorological dataset with implication to climate change studies
(2016)
High spatial resolution of precipitation (P) and average air temperature (Tavg) datasets are ideal for determining the spatial patterns associated with large-scale atmospheric and oceanic indexes, and climate change and ...
Tendencias hacia condiciones hidrológicas más secas en Centroamérica (1982- 2005)
(2013-11-11)
Se presenta un resumen de los resultados de proyecciones hidrológicas de 30 modelos de circulación general (MCG) a final de siglo y se analizan si varios parámetros hidrometeorológicos presentan tendencias (1982-2005) ...
Observed (1970-1999) climate variability in Central America using a high-resolution meteorological dataset with potential for climate change studies
(2015-10)
Average temperature (Tavg) data from stations and station-based gridded datasets at 50 km resolution were
used to provide a high-resolution (5 km grid) dataset for Central America from 1970 to 1999. The procedure
used ...
Projections of Potential Flood Regime Changes in California
(2009-03)
Floods have been a recurring theme in California’s climatology, hydrology, and politics
throughout its history. Today, California's aging water supply and flood protection
infrastructures are challenged by major floods ...
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 ...
ENSO and PDO Effects on Hydroclimatic Variations of the Upper Colorado River Basin
(2003-02)
Linkages between tropical Pacific Ocean monthly climatic variables and the Upper Colorado River basin
(UCRB) hydroclimatic variations from 1909 to 1998 are analyzed at interseasonal timescales. A study of the
changes in ...
