A new circulation type classification based upon Lagrangian air trajectories
(2014-10-24)
A new classification method of the large-scale circulation characteristic for a specific
target area (NW Iberian Peninsula) is presented, based on the analysis of 90-h backward
trajectories arriving in this area calculated ...
Major sources of moisture for Antarctic ice-core sites identified through a Lagrangian approach
(2010-02-16)
A Lagrangian method of diagnosis was used to identify the major sources of moisture for
principal Antarctic ice-core sites by back-tracking the air masses that ultimately reach these regions
for a 5 yr period (2000–2004). ...
Drone-based hyperspectral and thermal imagery for quantifying upland rice productivity and water use efficiency after biochar application
(2021-05-11)
Miniature hyperspectral and thermal cameras onboard lightweight unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) bring new opportunities for monitoring land surface variables at unprecedented fine spatial resolution with acceptable accuracy. ...
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 ...
Projected climate change impacts on tropical life zones in Costa Rica. Progress in Physical Geography: Earth and Environment
(2021)
Efforts to protect tropical ecosystems aim at implementing biological corridors across the national territory of Costa Rica. However, potential near-future climate change challenges the effectiveness of such conservation ...
Preface to stable isotopes in hydrological studies in the tropics: Ecohydrological perspectives in a changing climate
(2019)
Tropical regions (comprised between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, 23.5°N to 23.5°S) cover approximately 36% of the Earth's landmass. They are home to 40% of the world's population, which is projected to increase ...
Tracing Water Sources and Fluxes in a Dynamic Tropical Environment: From Observations to Modeling
(2020)
Tropical regions cover approximately 36% of the Earth’s landmass. These regions are home to 40% of the world’s population, which is projected to increase to over 50% by 2030 under a remarkable climate variability scenario ...
Can hydrological drought be efficiently predicted by conceptual rainfall-runoff models with global data products?
(2021)
The seasonally-dry tropics of northern Costa Rica are characterized by recurrent drought events
with negative socio-economic impacts on a vulnerable population. Scarce hydroclimatic observational data constraints reasonable ...
Recent progress on the sources of continental precipitation as revealed by moisture transport analysis
(2020)
The assessment of sources of moisture is key to the understanding of the hydrological cycle at different time scales, because it enables the establishment of source-sink relationships and the identification of the main ...
