  1. Central America : Potential participation in NAME Jorge A. Amador University of Costa Rica 25 October, 2002

  2. Relationship between the Caribbean and the eastern Pacific climate

  3. (Pacific slope) MSD I years months

  4. Intensity of the jet is ENSO associated

  5. ECAC 2001 (Warm Pools Climatic Experiment), UNAM, UCR, …(IAI-CRN 073) SE SSE E SSE E NE SE SE E NE NNE E E

  6. JJA (1960-1999)

  7. Potential Central America participation during NAME • to improve available daily precipitation data for near-real • time analysis in tiers 2, and 3. • to supplement radio-sonde observations to twice-daily • A proposal is to be submitted through CRRH to potential • funding agencies (CRUSA,….) Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and Costa Rica have shown written interest to participate in NAME

  8. 4. Future work Non-ENSO signals Role of the warm pools in convective activity (Are changes in SST associated with changes in convective activity and the MSD?) Geographical extent of the MSD and its impacts on agriculture, hydropower generation, etc. (ENSO related?) Importance of the Caribbean Low Level Easterly –Jet (CALLE-Jota) in the westward and northward transfer of properties (momentum and moisture, ...); interaction of jet with easterly waves,…
