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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
The role of lowlevel circulation on water vapour transport to central and northern South America: Insights from a 2D Lagrangian approach
(2020)
The potential role of low-level circulation on the transport of atmospheric
moisture towards Central America and northern South America is studied
with the Dynamical Recycling Model (DRM) for the period 1981–2015. The
net ...
Ocean Evaporation and Precipitation
(2012)
In view of the threat of global climate change , the proper understanding of the intensity of the hydrological cycle and of its development over time is one of the most important challenges of the century, at least in 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 ...
Tracer hydrology of the data-scarce and heterogeneous Central American Isthmus
(2020)
Numerous socio-economic activities depend on the seasonal rainfall and groundwater recharge cycle across the Central American Isthmus. Population growth and unregulated land use changes resulted in extensive surface water ...
The residence time of water vapour in the atmosphere
(2021-07-13)
Atmospheric water vapour residence time (WVRT) is an essential indicator of how atmospheric dynamics and thermodynamics mediate hydrological cycle responses to climate change. WVRT is also important in estimating moisture ...
