Central America [in State of the Climate in 2015]
(2016)
The text discusses the analysis of weather stations in the region, including stations on both the Caribbean and Pacific slopes. Data from the NOAA/NCEI GHCN daily precipitation dataset for 2015 showed significant missing ...
Central America [in State of the Climate in 2014]
(2015-07)
Most of the dozens of essential climate variables monitored
each year in this report continued to follow their long-term
trends in 2014, with several setting new records. Carbon
dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide the ...
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 ...
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 ...
Modelling non‐stationary water ages in a tropical rainforest: A preliminary spatially distributed assessment
(2020)
Pristine tropical forests play a critical role in regional and global climate systems. For a better understanding of the eco-hydrology of tropical “evergreen” vegetation, it is essential to know the partitioning of water ...
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 ...
Spatially distributed tracer‐aided modelling to explore water and isotope transport, storage and mixing in a pristine, humid tropical catchment
(2018)
Rapidly transforming headwater catchments in the humid tropics provide important
resources for drinking water, irrigation, hydropower, and ecosystem connectivity.
However, such resources for downstream use remain unstudied. ...
