The Choco low‐level jet: past, present and future
El jet de bajo nivel Choco: pasado, presente y futuro
(2021)
The Choco low-level jet is among the main regional circulation mechanisms related to the advection of water vapor from the
eastern Pacifc to northwestern South America. Variations in the intensity of position of the jet ...
A climatology of low level wind regimes over Central America using a weather type classification approach
(2015-04)
Based on the potential of the weather types classification method to study synoptic
features, this study proposes the application of such methodology for the identification
of the main large scale patterns related with ...
Central America [in State of the Climate in 2012]
(2013-08)
For this region, nine stations from five countries
were analyzed. The stations located on the Caribbean
slope are: Phillip Goldson International Airport,
Belize; Puerto Barrios, Guatemala; Puerto Lempira, ...
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 ...
Member and Bayesian mixing models consistently indicate near‐surface flowpath dominance in a pristine humid tropical rainforest
(2021)
The impacts of forest conversion on runoff generation in the tropics have received much interest, but scientific progress is still hampered by challenging fieldwork conditions and limited knowledge about runoff mechanisms. ...
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 ...
La Corriente en Chorro del Caribe: Observaciones, modelado multifísica, interacciones multiescala e impacto regional
(2018-06)
El tema central de la propuesta es el estudio de la Corriente en Chorro del Caribe (CLLJ por sus siglas en inglés). El CLLJ es uno de los mecanismos físicos más importantes para entender el clima, la variabilidad climática ...
The MILAN campaign: Studying diel light effects on the air-sea interface
(2019)
The sea-surface microlayer (SML) at the air-sea interface is < 1 mm deep but it is physically, chemically and biologically distinct from the underlying water and the atmosphere above. Wind-driven turbulence and solar ...
Deciphering key processes controlling rainfall isotopic variability during extreme tropical cyclones
(2019)
The Mesoamerican and Caribbean (MAC) region is characterized by tropical cyclones (TCs), strong El Niño-Southern Oscillation events, and climate variability that bring unique hazards to socio-ecological systems. Here we ...
The Caribbean Low-Level Jet, the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone and Precipitation Patterns in the Intra-Americas Sea: A Proposed Dynamical Mechanism
(2015-01-12)
Data from the Global Precipitation Climatology
Project covering Central America, the Caribbean Sea, the
eastern tropical Pacific and northern South America are used
to compute four indexes that describe characteristics ...
