Characterization of the Mid Summer Drought in the Central Valley of Costa Rica, Central America
(AGU Meeting of the Americas 2013, 2013)
The IAS region is characterized by climate
features of unique nature, one of them is the Mid-Summer
Drought (MSD), “veranillo” or “canícula” in Spanish, an
atmospheric attribute rarely observed in tropical regions.
On ...
Caribbean sea tropical cyclone occurrences in the last six decades and their impacts in central america and the caribbean islands
(2011-02-25)
The study of the tropical cyclones activity in the Caribbean (Figs. 1 & 2), and their historic characterization in the Central American region, is a basic element to mitigate their impact over different regions of the ...
Analysis of climate impacts in Costa Rica, Central America, from local historical information sources
(8th Alexander von Humboldt International Conference: Natural Disasters, Global Change, and the Preservation of World Heritage Sites". 12-16/11/2012. Cusco, Perú., 2012-11-12)
Central America and Mexico is a region that account for many World Heritage Sites. Among the climate hazards
that affects this rich world heritage place of the world are the boreal winter cold fronts intrusions, also known ...

(Memorias del VII Congreso de la Red Latinoamericana de Ciencias Ambientales “Forjando sinergias para la sostenibilidad”, 2013-11)
The Eastern Tropical Pacific region is characterized by climate features rarely
observed in tropical regions, one of them is the Mid-Summer Drought (MSD),
“veranillo” or “canícula” in Spanish. On the Pacific slope of ...
Discrete analysis for the America west coast rainfall predictability using El Niño/Southern Oscillation relationships
(Memorias del Tercer Congreso de Oceanografía Física, Meteorología y Clima del Pacífico Sur Oriental, 2013-10-16)
The objective of the study was to determine the probability of occurrence of wet or dry season events, based on the phase of El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon using multinomial response logit and logit regression ...
On the variability of the Caribbean lowlevel jet during winter: revisited
(Memorias de la European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2014, 2014-04)
The Caribbean low-level jet (CLLJ) is a strong wind current over the Caribbean Sea. Annually it has two peak periods, where February and July being the winter and summer components, respectively. The CLLJ is an important ...
The necessity for tailoring seasonal climate forecast in Central America for urban and coastal areas, including physics and human dimensions
(Memories of the WCRP Conference for Latin America and the Caribbean: Developing, linking, and applying climate knowledge, 2014-03)
Recent assessment analyses in Central America showed that trends in the annual number of impacts and disasters related with hydro-meteorology causes cannot be explained by climate trends only. That means that other ...
CMIP5 climate change hydroclimatic projections for Central America
(2019-03-12)
A review of a series of articles related to the use of General Circulation Models (GCMs) projections for characterizing future climate changes in Central America are presented. Previous work using Coupled Model Intercomparison ...

Observed Changes (1970-1999) in Extreme Hydroclimatic Events in Central America
(2018-04-20)
Previous studies have shown that most of Central America has been experiencing warming trends during the last 30-50 years, while precipitation annual totals have not changed much. Warming alone can exacerbate the effects ...
