Generation and propagation of anticyclonic rings in the Gulf of Papagayo
International Journal of Remote Sensing, 2004 Lagrangian drifting buoys, local meteorological stations and AVHRR data were used to describe the generation and propagation of anticyclonic rings in the Gulf of Papagayo during the upwelling season in 1996. Some observations were consistent with two generation mechanisms previously proposed: forcing by inertially rotating Papagayo wind jets and ...

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2020 Introduction: North Pacific Costa Rica is generally considered rich in marine habitats and species. However, some areas are subject to fishing pressures that could degrade ecosystems. The Gulf of Papagayo comprises protected and unprotected areas with various degrees of impact.

Revista Ciencias Marinas y Costeras, 2010 In the seasonal upwelling region of Gulf of Papagayo (Northern Pacific coast of Costa Rica), we evaluated and described two previously poorly known coral habitats, Punta Cacique and Bahía Guacamaya. Both localities differed in the extent of the frame-building coral communities and their composition. While Bahía Guacamaya and Punta Cacique had a similar

COMMUNITY STRUCTURE OF EASTERN PACIFIC REEF FISHES (GULF OF PAPAGAYO, COSTA RICA)
Tecnociencia, 2005 We assessed the relative abundance of reef fishes and ita relation with physical parameters and habitat at four sites in Culebra Bay, a human disturbed arca in Gulf of Papagayo, Costa Rica (eastem Pacific) from March to October 1997.

The Global Sink of Available Potential Energy by Mesoscale Air-Sea Interaction. [PDF]
J Adv Model Earth Syst, 2020 Abstract The thermal component of oceanic eddy available potential energy (EPE) generation due to air‐sea interaction is proportional to the product of anomalous sea surface temperature (SST) and net air‐sea heat flux (SHF). In this study we assess EPE generation and its timescale and space‐scale dependence from observations and a high‐resolution ...
