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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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) ...
Five Hundred Years of Hydrological Drought in the Upper Colorado River Basin
(2007-06)
This article evaluates drought scenarios of the Upper Colorado River basin (UCRB) considering
multiple drought variables for the past 500 years and positions the current drought in terms of the magnitude
and frequency. ...
Clima, variabilidad y cambio climático en la Vertiente Caribe de Costa Rica: Un estudio básico para la actividad bananera
(2013-09)
Este Informe Final (IF) describe en forma sintética, los alcances y productos del
proyecto “Clima, variabilidad y cambio climático en la Vertiente Caribe de Costa Rica: Un estudio básico para la actividad bananera”, en ...
Associations of decadal to multidecadal sea-surface temperature variability with Upper Colorado River flow
(2007-02)
The relations of decadal to multidecadal (D2M) variability in global sea-surface temperatures (SSTs)
with D2M variability in the flow of the Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB) are examined for the years 1906-
2003. Results ...
Cambios de la Irradiancia Solar y Determinación de la Turbiedad Atmosférica en Costa Rica Durante el Eclipse Total del 11 de Julio de 1991
(Observaciones Científicas Realizadas en Costa Rica (W. Fernández, ed.) Editorial de la Universidad de Costa Rica, 1992)
Con motivo de la ocurrencia de un eclipse total de Sol, el 11 de junio de 1991, se hicieron mediciones de la radiación global en varios lugares de Costa Rica. En dos de estos lugares, Puntarenas y Santa Cruz, se hicieron ...
Attribution of Declining Western U.S. Snowpack to Human Effects
(2008-12-01)
Observations show snowpack has declined across much of the western United States over the period 1950–99. This reduction has important social and economic implications, as water retained in the snowpack from winter storms ...
