A Multivariate Regression Model Between the October Rainfall Anomalies in Central America and the Tropical Pacific and Atlantic Ocean
(1999-11)
Principal Component Analysis was used to identity common anomaly patterns amongst 72 rainfall gauge stations in Central America during October, in order to identify stations to from October Rainfall Indices. October was ...
EL ENOS, el IOS y la corriente en chorro de bajo nivel en el oeste del Caribe
(2000)
Using Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) data from 1900-1997 and some other shorter SOI series before 1900, it is determined through filtering and basic statistics, the duration of the warm/cold phases of the events associated ...
La Institucionalización de la Meteorología en Costa Rica (1860-1910)
(Editorial Nuevas Perspectivas, 2013-03)
Luego de su expedición a la Isla del Coco a finales del siglo XIX, el Dr. Henri Pittier consideró este sitio como de vital importancia, a nivel nacional y regional, para realizar observaciones continuas de distintos ...
Smiling in the rain: Seven reasons to be positive about uncertainty in hydrological modelling
(Processes Hydrological Processes Vol. 27(7): 1117–1122, 2012-03-30)
Over 20 years ago, the notion of ‘positive uncertainty’ was introduced in the field of psychology (Gelatt, 1989). This was coincident to some developments in the hydrological sciences (e.g. Beven and Binley, 1992; Grayson ...
Cuenca del Río Arenal: Análisis de los eventos La Niña 1988-89 y 1996
(2000)
The precipitation patterns during La Niña events of 1988-89 and 1996 are analyzed for the Arenal River Basin. Pentad data are used to study the rainfall distribution for Naranjos Agrios (in the northwestern part of the ...
Balanced dynamics of deep and shallow Hadley circulations in the tropics
(Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems 6(3): 777-804, 2014-05-06)
This paper examines the dynamics of large-scale overturning circulations in the tropical atmosphere using an idealized zonally symmetric model on the equatorial b-plane. Under certain simplifications of its coefficients, ...
Etiología y epidemiología de la enteritis y colitis infecciosa
(Revista de la Sociedad Venezolana de Gastroenterología 37(1 y 2):45-68, 1983-01)
Se ha avanzado mucho en la conceptualización de la epidemiología de la diarrea a partir de la creencia popular de que el síndrome era causado por "Indigestión" alimentaria. A pesar de que la shigelosis, salmonelosis, ...
Human-Induced Changes in the Hydrology of the Western United States
(2008-02-22)
Observations have shown that the hydrological cycle of the western United States changed significantly over the last half of the 20th century. We present a regional, multivariable climate change detection and attribution ...
On the rainfall distribution with altitude over Costa Rica.
(Revista Geofísica 44, 57-72, 1996, 1996-01)
Se estudia la distribución de la precipitación vertical en Costa Rica, a lo largo de un perfil topográfico que cruza el pais del Pacífico hasta la costa del mar Caribe. El perfil en montaña, cuyo pico más alto llega a los ...
Detection and Attribution of Temperature Changes in the Mountainous Western United States
(2008-04-22)
Large changes in the hydrology of the western United States have been observed since the mid-twentieth century. These include a reduction in the amount of precipitation arriving as snow, a decline in snowpack at low and ...
