Strengthening the Meteorological Sounding Network Over the Eastern Pacific Ocean and the Intertropical Americas to support pacs
(1997)
The present atmospheric sounding network over Central America and Northern South America does
not reliably depict the structure of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) over the region. Over the
eastern tropical ...
Humedales del Parque Nacional Chirripó, Costa Rica: características, relaciones geomorfológicas y escenarios de cambio climático
Wetlands of the Chirripó National Park, Costa Rica: characteristics, geomorphological relationships and climate change scenarios.
(2018-12)
The geomorphological, climatological and hydrological characteristics of the high Andean wetlands of the Chirripó National Park (PNCh) are analyzed. The PNCh is located in south-central Costa Rica, Central America. This ...
Aridity Trends in Central America: A Spatial Correlation Analysis
(2020-04-23)
Trend analyses are common in several types of climate change studies. In many cases, finding evidence that the trends are different from zero in hydroclimate variables is of particular interest. However, when estimating ...
Examination of WRF-ARW experiments using different planetary boundary layer parameterizations to study the rapid intensification and trajectory of Hurricane Otto 2016
(2020)
Hurricane Otto (2016) was characterised by remarkable meteorological features of relevance for the scientific community and society. Scientifically, among the most important attributes of Otto is that it underwent a rapid ...
Simulación de la altura máxima de ola en huracanes con trayectorias similares en el mar Caribe y su relación con los impactos costeros generados
(2011-09)
Simulando con modelos numéricos las distribuciones espaciales de la energía de las olas en huracanes con trayectorias similares, se estudia la relación entre las características del huracán y la altura de las olas y la ...
Measurement of raindrop size distributions in tropical rain at Costa Rica
(2006)
This paper presents the results of a unique opportunity of analyzing a large dropsize-
distribution (DSD) sample. Using a well calibrated Optical Spectro Pluviometer sensor for
measuring 1-min DSDs, a sample of one year ...
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 ...
The role of the meridional sea surface temperature gradient in controlling the Caribbean low-level jet
(2017)
The Caribbean low‐level jet (CLLJ) is an important modulator of regional climate, especially precipitation, in the Caribbean and Central America. Previous work has inferred, due to their semiannual cycle, an association ...
Assessment of Central America Regional Climate Outlook Forum maps, 1998-2013
(2016)
Starting 1997, the Regional Climate Outlook Forums or RCOFs have taken place in different Latin American countries, as an effort to generate climatic prediction products. “since 2000, the Forum is organized in Central ...
La plaga de langostas Schistocerca sp. (Orthoptera: Acridae) y su relación con el Mega Niño de 1877-1878 en Costa Rica.
(2019)
Introducción: las plagas de langostas se han registrado durante miles de años y fueron temidas por muchas sociedades. Objetivo: evaluar si las langostas que afectaron a Costa Rica en el siglo XIX estaban relacionadas con ...
