Evaluación de modelos numéricos de Tercera Generación para el pronóstico del oleaje en Centroamérica y México
(2001)
The evaluation and implementation of two public domain wave spectral models: SWAN and WAM to be used in hindcasting and forecasting in the Central American region are presented. The typical model characteristics are analyzed ...
Arrecifes latinoamericanos bajo amenazas comunes
(Revista Crisol, n. 12, p. 15-17, 2004, 2004)
Aunque tienen características propias que los distinguen unos de otros, los arrecifes coralinos del Mar Caribe, de Brasil y del Pacífico Americano corren el riesgo de desaparecer por problemas comunes.
Un método para evaluar el enriquecimiento de metales en sedimentos marinos en Costa Rica
(Revista Biología Tropical 60 (2): 197-211, 2012-04-01)
A method to evaluate metal enrichment in marine sediments. In order to evaluate metal enrichment in sediments , a method is proposed and tested in Bahia Culebra and the Golfo de Nicoya, Costa Rica through the normalization ...
Hierarchical spatial patterns in Caribbean reef benthic assemblages
(2015)
Aim: Coral assemblages on Caribbean reefs have largely been considered to be biogeographically homogeneous at a regional scale. We reassess this in three taxa (corals, sponges and octocorals) using three community attributes ...
Seasonal changes of the microplankton community along a tropical estuary
(2015-11)
Microplankton organisms are an important link in the transfer of matter and energy between the benthic–pelagic microbial food web and higher trophic levels in estuaries. Although tropical estuaries are among the most ...
Effects of Seasonal Upwelling on Inorganic and Organic Matter Dynamics in the Water Column of Eastern Pacific Coral Reefs
(2015-11)
The Gulf of Papagayo at the northern Pacific coast of Costa Rica experiences pronounced seasonal changes in water parameters caused by wind-driven coastal upwelling. While remote sensing and open water sampling already ...
Analysis of the Latin American west coast rainfall predictability using an ENSO index
(2015)
El objetivo de este estudio es determinar la probabilidad de ocurrencia de estaciones lluviosas o secas a lo largo de la costa oeste de Centro y Sudamérica, mediante la construcción de perfiles latitudinales para la ...
Upwelling Increases Net Primary Production of Corals and Reef-Wide Gross Primary Production Along the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica
(2015-12-23)
Photosynthetic production is a key ecosystem service provided by tropical coral reefs, but knowledge about the contribution of corals and other reef-associated organisms and the controlling environmental factors is scarce. ...
Productividad primaria en el Humedal Nacional Térraba-Sierpe, Costa Rica
Primary productivity in the National Térraba-Sierpe Wetland, Costa Rica
(2015)
Se determinó la productividad primaria (PP) del fitoplancton en un amplio sector del Humedal Nacional Térraba Sierpe (HNTS) de Costa Rica, durante la estación lluviosa del año 2008 y en la estación seca del año 2009. Seis ...
Effects of simulated overfishing on the succession of benthic algae and invertebrates in an upwelling-influenced coral reef of Pacific Costa Rica
(2015)
Overfishing and nutrient enrichment are among the major local stressors to coral reefs worldwide, as they can alter the benthic reef community by promoting fast growing algae and bioeroders. The Northern coast of Pacific ...
