Chirripo Hydrological Research Site: advancing stable isotope hydrology in the Central American Paramo
(AUTHOREA, 2021)
Tropical mountainous ecosystems are recognized as providers of valuable ecological and hydrological services (Viviroli et al, 2007). In Central America, the P aramo, a high-elevation tropical grassland ecosystem, extends ...
Stable isotopic characterization of nitrate wet deposition in the tropical urban atmosphere of Costa Rica
(Research Square, 2021)
Increasing energy consumption and food production worldwide results in anthropogenic emissions of reactive nitrogen into the atmosphere. To date, however, little information is available on tropical urban environments where ...
Moisture transport and seasonal variations in the stable isotopic composition of rainfall in Central American and Andean Páramo during El Niño conditions (2015–2016)
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2019)
High‐elevation tropical grassland systems, called Páramo, provide essential ecosystem services such as water storage and supply for surrounding and lowland areas.
Páramo systems are threatened by climate and land use ...
Deciphering key processes controlling rainfall isotopic variability during extreme tropical cyclones
(2019-09)
The Mesoamerican and Caribbean (MAC) region is characterized by tropical cyclones (TCs), strong El Niño-Southern Oscillation events, and climate variability that bring unique hazards to socio-ecological systems. Here we ...
Hydrometeorological Factors Controlling the Stable Isotopic Composition of Precipitation in the Highlands of South Ecuador
(American Meteorological Society (Estados Unidos), 2022-07)
Knowledge about precipitation generation remains limited in the tropical Andes due to the lack of water stable isotope (WSI) data. Therefore, we investigated the key factors controlling the isotopic composition of precipitation ...
