The role of the meridional sea surface temperature gradient in controlling the Caribbean low-level jet
(2017)
The Caribbean low‐level jet (CLLJ) is an important modulator of regional climate, especially precipitation, in the Caribbean and Central America. Previous work has inferred, due to their semiannual cycle, an association ...
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 ...
Variability of the Caribbean low-level jet during borealwinter: large-scale forcings
(2016)
An index capturing the anomalies of the zonal wind at 925 hPa from 1950 to 2010 was defined to explore the relationship between the fluctuations of the Caribbean low-level jet (CLLJ) and the main climate variability modes ...
Atmospheric forcing of the eastern tropical Pacific: A review
(2006-06-06)
The increase in marine, land surface, atmospheric and satellite data during recent decades has led to an improved understanding of the air–sea interaction processes in the eastern tropical Pacific. This is also thanks to ...
Skill of CMIP5 climate models in reproducing 20th century basic climate features in Central America
(2014-12)
A total of 107 climate runs from 48 Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project 5 (CMIP5) general circulation models (GCMs) were evaluated for their ability to skillfully reproduce basic characteristics of late 20th century ...
The Intra-Americas Sea Low-level Jet
(2008-12-05)
A relevant climate feature of the Intra‐Americas Sea (IAS) is the low‐level jet (IALLJ) dominating the IAS circulation, both in summer and winter; and yet it is practically unknown with regard to its nature, structure, ...
Climatology of the low-level winds over the intra- americas sea using satellite and reanalysis data
(2017-01)
The climatologies of five tropical low-level jets are studied through QuikScat, CCMP, ERA-Interim, and NCEP-DOE data. Three of the jets —the Tehuantepec jet, the Papagayo jet, and the Panama jet– are associated with ...
Hydrological climate change projections for Central America
(Journal of Hydrology 495: 94–112, 2013-05-04)
Runoff climate change projections for the 21st century were calculated from a suite of 30 General Circulation Model (GCM) simulations for the A1B emission scenario in a 0.5 0.5 grid over Central America. The GCM data ...
A Climate Feature of the Tropical Americas: The Trade Wind Easterly Jet
(1998-06)
Utilizando datos medios mensuales globales de los Reanálisis de NCEP/NCARP para el periodo 1982-1994 se documenta una característica de la circulación de las Américas tropicales no reportada hasta el momento en la literatura: ...
