Sistema Nacional de Monitoreo de Tsunamis
(Revista Universidad en Diálogo vol.5 no.2 101-111 2015, 2015)
En cualquier cuerpo de agua, y más específicamente en cualquier océano, se pude generar un tsunami. Por esto, nuestro país, al tener dos costas, se encuentra expuesto a ellos. Los tsunamis no se pueden evitar ni pronosticar ...
The rip current hazard in Costa Rica
(2015-01-31)
Deaths from rip currents are a major hazard on global beaches, but few data are available at a national scale to support the development of appropriate intervention programs. Analysis of data from the Judicial Investigation ...
Slow westward movement of salinity anomalies across the tropical South Indian Ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 2015-08-06)
Decadal salinity variability is an important characteristic of the ocean. It characterizes differences in evaporative and precipitation fluxes at the surface, and in the subsurface it contributes to steric sea level change ...
Electrochemical Hydrogen Oxidation on Pt(100): a Combined Direct Molecular Dynamics/Density Functional Theory Study
(Electrocatalysis, 2015-08-09)
We have studied the hydrogen oxidation reaction on various catalytic sites at the water/Pt(100) interface with first-principles direct molecular dynamics and minimum energy pathway calculations. The calculations indicate ...
Tsunamis from Tectonic Sources along Caribbean Plate Boundaries
(2015)
The Caribbean region, home to more than 100 million people, has seen for the last 500 years at Least 75 documented tsunamis (von Hillebrandt-Andrade, 2013). It has been estimated that more than 4500 people have perished ...
Evaluación de fuentes tsunamigénicas en el sur de Centroamérica y la generación de mapas de evacuación en la costa Pacífica de Costa Rica
(Geo - Network of Latinomerican - German alumi (GOAL) 7-10 2015, 2015)
Costa Rica se encuentra en el extremo oeste de la placa Caribe, en el sur de América Central. En esta región se da la interacción de cuatro placas tectónicas. La placa Cocos se subduce bajo la placa Caribe y la microplaca ...
Polymer gel dosimeter based on itaconic acid
(2015-11)
A new polymeric dosimeter based on itaconic acid and N, N'-methylenebisacrylamide was studied. The preparation method, compositions of monomer and crosslinking agent and the presence of oxygen in the dosimetric system were ...
Hidrography and river plumes in Golfo Dulce, South Pacific of Costa Rica
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2015-07)
Oceanographic variables at 33 stations distributed in Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica, during the dry and rainy seasons between 2009 and 2010, were analyzed with CTD profiles, where salinity, temperature, sigma-T and currents were ...
Decadal Characterization of Indo-Pacific Ocean Subsurface Temperature Modes in SODA Reanalysis
(American Meteorological Society, 2015-04-29)
Studies of decadal-to-multidecadal ocean subsurface temperature variability are fundamental to improving the understanding of low-frequency climate signals. The present study uses the Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA) ...
Características termohalinas de las aguas costeras del Caribe sur de Costa Rica
(Universidad Nacional (Costa Rica), 2015-12)
En agosto y noviembre del año 2012, se realizaron dos campañas hidrográficas en la zona costera del Ca ribe sur de Costa Rica, entre el Puerto de Limón y la Laguna de Gandoca. Se utilizó un CTD (perfilador de conductividad, ...
