Habitat Use and Foraging Ecology of Three Sea Turtle Species Nesting in Northwest Costa Rica

Marine Ecology, Volume 46, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Sea turtle species, even when sharing nesting beaches, exhibit distinct at‐sea movements and foraging behavior. At Playa Cabuyal, a sea turtle nesting beach in northwest Costa Rica, we utilized satellite telemetry to reveal the post‐nesting movement of green turtles (Chelonia mydas, n = 9) alongside carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis ...

Meso‐ and Submesoscale Circulation Origins for Subsurface Oxygen Intrusions Into the Oxygen Deficient Zone of the Eastern Tropical North Pacific

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 130, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Subsurface oxygen maxima (SOM) are recurrent but poorly understood features within the eastern tropical North Pacific oxygen deficient zone (ODZ). Here, we analyze a subsurface oxygen maximum (SOM) observed during the SR2114 cruise using in situ biogeochemical and physical measurements, satellite remote sensing, and Lagrangian particle ...

Improvements in the Seasonal Prediction of the Mid‐Summer Drought Based on the North American Multimodel Ensemble

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 45, Issue 6, May 2025.
Although the basic features of the Mid‐Summer Drought (MSD) were not adequately reproduced in the North American Multi‐Model Ensemble forecasts, these forecasts contained the main drivers associated with its interannual variability; after applying a relatively simple Model Output Statistics technique, these drivers resulted in skilful, regional‐scale ...

Interannual Variability of Tropical Cyclone Landfalls in the Eastern North Pacific: Environmental Drivers and Implications

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 8, 28 April 2025.
Abstract Despite its high tropical cyclone (TC) density, the Eastern North Pacific (ENP) basin has received relatively little research attention on landfall variability. This study investigates the climatological seasonal cycle and interannual variability of TC landfalls in the ENP.

Box-Jenkins analysis for shark landings in Costa Rica

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2004
Sharks are highly vulnerable to intense and prolonged fishery extraction. This article analyzes the data on shark landings from the artisan fishing fleet on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast between 1988 and 1997.

High‐Resolution Variability of the Ocean Carbon Sink

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 38, Issue 8, August 2024.
Abstract Measurements of the surface ocean fugacity of carbon dioxide (fCO2) provide an important constraint on the global ocean carbon sink, yet the gap‐filling products developed so far to cope with the sparse observations are relatively coarse (1° × 1° by 1 month).
