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 ...

Large wildfire occurrence and burned area are modeled using hydroclimate and landsurface characteristics under a range of future climate and development scenarios. The range of uncertainty for future wildfire regimes is ...

It is often remarked that most of the western US (Figure 1) is “always in drought,” especially by visitors from wetter climates. The plants and landforms of the West, however, are more or less adapted to the region’s ...

En un trabajo reciente, Alfaro y Soley (2009), presentaron dos metodologías para el rellenado de datos ausentes, enfocadas hacia su uso en series de tiempo geofísicas. Una de ellas se basó en la descomposición en componentes ...

Principal Component Analysis was used to identity common anomaly patterns amongst 72 rainfall gauge stations in Central America during October, in order to identify stations to from October Rainfall Indices. October was ...

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 ...

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 ...

El presente proyecto es la componente nacional del proyecto “Paleotempestology of the Caribbean Region: A Multi-proxy, Multi-site Study of the Spatial and Temporal Variability of Caribbean Hurricane Activity” el cual es ...

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 ...

A finales del año 2004 se atendió por parte del Centro de Investigaciones Geofísicas de la Universidad de Costa Rica, el segundo llamado que hiciera el Instituto Interamericano para la Investigación del Cambio Global (IAI) ...
