Precipitation reactions due to oceanic oscillations in its surface temperatures: Central Tectonic Depression, Costa Rica
Abstract
It is analyze the response of the ENSO event regarding the precipitation in the Central Tectonic Depression of Costa Rica. It was found that such response is different given the variation in sea surface temperatures among the Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean. These may contribute, in varying degrees, to the formation of air masses loaded with humidity which may reach this region. Similarly, such a region presents geomorphologic irregularities in two main sub-basins that contribute even more regarding the differences in the levels of precipitation; this reduction is greater in the subasin of the Grande de San Ramón River.
