We review the major conceptual models of atmospheric moisture transport, which describe
the link between evaporation from the ocean and precipitation over the continents. We begin …

A relevant climate feature of the Intra‐Americas Sea (IAS) is the low‐level jet (IALLJ)
dominating the IAS circulation, both in summer and winter; and yet it is practically unknown …

We study the seasonal dynamics of the eastern Pacific (CHOCO) and Caribbean low‐level
jets (LLJ), and aerial rivers (AR) acting on tropical and subtropical South America. Using the …

Drill cores obtained from Lake Petén Itzá, Petén, Guatemala, contain a∼ 85-kyr record of
terrestrial climate from lowland Central America that was used to reconstruct hydrologic …

This paper undertakes a hydrometeorological analysis of flood events in the central United
States. Vertically integrated horizontal water vapor transport over 1979–2011 is calculated in …

The easterly Caribbean low-level jet (CLLJ) is a prominent climate feature over the Intra-
America Seas, and it is associated with much of the water vapor transport from the tropical …

Climate Response to Anomalously Large and Small Atlantic Warm Pools during the Summer

Glacial–interglacial climate cycles are known to have triggered migrations and
reassortments of tropical biota. Although long-term precessionally-driven changes in …

This is Part II of a two-part review about climate and climate variability focused on the
Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP) and the Caribbean Sea (CS). Both parts are aimed at …

Palynological studies document forest disappearance during the late Holocene in the
tropical Maya lowlands of northern Guatemala. The question remains as to whether this …
