Evaluación del hipotético sistema de falla transcurrente este-oeste de Costa Rica
(1996)Se analizaron los siguientess criterios que ayudan a evaluar la existencia de un sistema de fallas mayor en la parte central de Costa Rica: configuración geologica del territorio costarricense, fallamiento, distribución ... -
Satellite depiction of the evolution of a West African squall cluster
(1989)West African squall lines or disturbance lines have been studied by several investigators (e.g., Hamilton and Archbold 1945; Eldridge 1957; Fortune 1980; Fernandez 1982a, 1982b) and their climatological aspects are, in ... -
Modelo de viento ajustado a un modelo de generación de olas para el pronóstico de oleaje durante huracanes
(1990)The characteristics of three forecasting numerical models were studied in order to compare the effects produced in their coupling to a wave generation model. The difference in wave heights produced by the wave generation ... -
The microclimate of maize and bean crops in tropical America: a comparison between monocultures and polycultures planted at high and low density
(1991)This study characterizes the microclimates of maize and bean crops planted in monocultures and polycultures at two planting densities in Costa Rica. The hypothesis that the density and mixture of plants affects the ... -

Simulación de oleaje durante el Huracán David a su paso por el Mar Caribe al sur de Puerto Rico
(1991)Un modelo numérico de generación de olas durante huracanes fue utilizado para pronosticar el oleaje durante el Huracán David en 1979 a su paso por el Mar Caribe. La altura de las olas producidas por el modelo compara ... -
El terremoto de Fraijanes de 1888 y el sistema de fallas de Alajuela, implicaciones del peligro sísmico potencial para el Valle Central Occidental
(1992)El estudio geológico estructural y morfotectónico de la región al norte de la ciudad de Alajuela, muestra una serie de fallas, estructuras volcánicas y alineamientos que pueden ser correlacionados con el terremoto de 1888, ... -
The influence of weather and microclimate on Dalbulus maidis (Homoptera: Cicadellidae) flight activity and the incidence of diseases within maize and bean monocultures and bicultures in tropical America
(1992)Mixed cropping systems in tropical A merica have been shown to be less prone than monocultures to damage from pathogens carried by insects. This finding formed the basis for a series of experiments conducted in Costa Rica ... -
Remote sensing at the Centre for Geophysical Research, University of Costa Rica
(1993)The background of the remote sensing technology in the Central American region is discussed. A brief account is given of the present state of remote sensing in Costa Rica. Although the remote sensing technology was introduced ... -
