A Lagrangian Perspective on the Atlantic and Pacific Precipitation‐Evaporation Asymmetry
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 128, Issue 24, 27 December 2023., 2023 Abstract Total precipitation minus evaporation (P − E) for the Atlantic is negative while it is approximately neutral for the Pacific. This has frequently been attributed to westward Atlantic‐to‐Pacific moisture flux across Central America. However, this Eulerian perspective has limited scope as it does not consider the origins of the water crossing ...

The Diurnal Cycle of East Pacific Convection, Moisture, and CYGNSS Wind Speed and Fluxes
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 128, Issue 8, 27 April 2023., 2023 Abstract The far eastern tropical Pacific is one of the rainiest locations on Earth. This region is characterized by a robust diurnal cycle with precipitation initiating over the Andes mountains in Colombia in the late afternoon and moving offshore overnight while organizing into mesoscale convective systems (MCSs).

Atmospheric circulation types controlling rainfall in the Central American Isthmus
International Journal of Climatology, Volume 43, Issue 1, Page 197-218, January 2023., 2023 Adjusted coefficients of determination show how low‐level circulation impacts daily variability in vertically integrated moisture flux divergence (VIMFD) and precipitation over the Pacific slope of Central America. Mechanisms forcing the circulation are explored.

Relationships Between Air‐Sea CO2 Flux and New Production in the Equatorial Pacific
Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 36, Issue 4, April 2022., 2022 Abstract The equatorial Pacific is the largest oceanic source of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. This outgassing varies depending on the El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and decadal climate variability. New production, the amount of phytoplankton net primary production driven by upwelled nitrate, plays a significant role in modulating air‐sea CO2 ...

Pájaros dorilos y otras aves parleras: una referencia intertextual en «La Arcadia»
Anuario Lope de Vega: Texto, Literatura, Cultura, 2017 Esta nota explora una curiosa expresión de la comedia lopesca La Arcadia, «pájaros dorilos», examinando la cuestión de las aves parlantes y la etimología de la frase, que nos lleva a propugnar una relación intertextual con la comedia anónima La gran ...

Outsize Influence of Central American Orography on Global Climate
AGU Advances, Volume 2, Issue 2, June 2021., 2021 Abstract Global Climate Models (GCMs) exhibit substantial biases in their simulation of tropical climate. One particularly problematic bias exists in GCMs' simulation of the tropical rainband known as the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ).
