The Caribbean Low-Level Jet, the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone and Precipitation Patterns in the Intra-Americas Sea: A Proposed Dynamical Mechanism
(2015-01-12)
Data from the Global Precipitation Climatology
Project covering Central America, the Caribbean Sea, the
eastern tropical Pacific and northern South America are used
to compute four indexes that describe characteristics ...
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 ...
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 ...
Cambios futuros de precipitación y temperatura sobre América Central y el Caribe utilizando proyecciones climáticas de reducción de escala estadística
(2018-01)
En la presente investigación se muestra mediante el uso del conjunto de proyecciones climáticas de reducción de escala estadística pertenecientes al NEX-GDDP, los cambios a largo plazo en precipitación y temperatura que ...
A climatology of low level wind regimes over Central America using a weather type classification approach
(2015-04)
Based on the potential of the weather types classification method to study synoptic
features, this study proposes the application of such methodology for the identification
of the main large scale patterns related with ...
Oceanic and terrestrial sources of continental precipitation
(American Geophysical Union 50:1-41, 2012-11-08)
The most important sources of atmospheric moisture at the global scale are herein identified, both oceanic and terrestrial, and a characterization is made of how continental regions are influenced by water from different ...
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 ...
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 ...
Connections between the Intertropical Convergence Zone and other climatic features in Central America
(2013-05-30)
This work explores statistical connections between the displacements and strength of the Intertropical Convergence
Zone (ITCZ) and the Caribbean Low Level Jet (CLLJ). Indicators of the position and of the strength of the ...
Role of moisture transport for Central American precipitation
(2017)
A climatology of moisture sources linked with Central American precipitation was computed based upon Lagrangian trajectories for the analysis period 1980–2013. The response of the annual cycle of precipitation in terms of ...
