Can climate variability information constrain a hydrological model for an ungauged Costa Rican catchment?
(2018)
Long‐term hydrological data are key to understanding catchment behaviour and for decision making within water management and planning. Given the lack of observed data in many regions worldwide, such as Central America, ...
Dynamical delimitation of the Central American Dry Corridor (CADC) using drought indices and aridity values
(2019)
The Central American Dry Corridor (CADC) is a sub-region in the isthmus that is relatively drier than the rest of the territory. Traditional delineations of the CADC’s boundaries start at the Pacific coast of southern ...
The Central American Dry Corridor: A Consensus Statement and its Background
(2019)
A unique gathering of climate, development and environmental experts took place from September 25-28, 2017 in San José and Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica. The subject of their deliberations was the Central American Dry ...
Sources of Variability of Evapotranspiration in California
(2005-02)
The variability (1990–2002) of potential evapotranspiration estimates (ETo) and related meteorological variables from a set of stations from the California Irrigation Management System (CIMIS) is studied. Data from the ...
Associations of multi-decadal sea-surface temperature variability with US drought
(2008-09)
Recent research suggests a link between drought occurrence in the conterminous United States (US) and sea surface temperature (SST) variability in both the tropical Pacific and North Atlantic Oceans on decadal to multidecadal ...
Five Hundred Years of Hydrological Drought in the Upper Colorado River Basin
(2007-06)
This article evaluates drought scenarios of the Upper Colorado River basin (UCRB) considering
multiple drought variables for the past 500 years and positions the current drought in terms of the magnitude
and frequency. ...
The Western U.S. Drought: How Bad Is It?
(2014-08-10)
Historical stream flow records and the forecast for 2004 make the current (1999–2004) drought in the southwestern United States the worst one in the past 80 years for portions of the Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB).
For ...
Recent Eurasian river discharge to the Arctic Ocean in the context of longer-term dendrohydrological records
(2007-12-29)
Mapped correlations between annual discharges (AD 1938–1990) of the major Eurasian rivers entering the Arctic Ocean (Severnaya Dvina, Pechora, Ob', Yenisey, Lena, and Kolyma) demonstrate a positive relationship between ...
Distribución espacio-temporal de la ocurrencia de tormentas eléctricas en Costa Rica
(Tópicos meteorológicos y oceanográficos, 4 (1): 63-77,1997, 1997-07)
An analysis ofthe number ofthunderstom days for the meteorological station at Juan Santamaria Airport and
of days with storms in the 06-18 hour period for the other six sinoptic stations of Costa Rica is made.
On the ...
The utility of daily large-scale climate data in the assessment of climate change impacts on daily streamflow in California
(2010-06-30)
Three statistical downscaling methods were applied to NCEP/NCAR reanalysis (used as a surrogate for the best possible general circulation model), and the downscaled meteorology was used to drive a hydrologic model over ...
