A Lagrangian Perspective on the Atlantic and Pacific Precipitation‐Evaporation Asymmetry
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
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
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.

Pájaros dorilos y otras aves parleras: una referencia intertextual en «La Arcadia»
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 ...

Relationships Between Air‐Sea CO2 Flux and New Production in the Equatorial Pacific
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 ...

Outsize Influence of Central American Orography on Global Climate
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).

Carbonate chemistry and dissolved oxygen in the Gulf of Papagayo (Culebra Bay), Costa Rica [PDF]
Salinity, pH, sea water temperature (SWT) and pCO2 was measured at a water-depth of ~ 3 m at the Marina Papagayo (85°39'21.41"W; 10°32'32.89"N) in Costa Rica in April 2009.

Drivers of reef fish assemblages in an upwelling region from the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean
Abstract Reef fish assemblages are exposed to a wide range of anthropogenic threats as well as chronic natural disturbances. In upwelling regions, for example, there is a seasonal influx of cool nutrient‐rich waters that may shape the structure and composition of reef fish assemblages.
