Ocurrencia de ciclones tropicales en el Mar Caribe y sus impactos sobre Centroamérica

Abstract

The study defined years with high and low tropical cyclone impacts in Costa Rica related to tropical cyclone ocurrences in the Caribbean Sea during 1948-2007. Costa Rica has a detailed disaster data base with information about the tropical cyclone impacts on different population locations and socioeconomic sectors that allowed its study during the last six decades. The analysis showed a trend in the annual number of impacts related with hydrometeorological causes that cannot be explained by climate trends only. It means that other variables like those related with socioeconomic aspects should be included in the analysis to explain this variability and their associated impacts.

Se definieron en este trabajo los años de alto o bajo impacto en Costa Rica por el paso de Ciclones Tropicales en el Caribe para 1948-2007. Costa Rica posee una base rica en información sobre desastres naturales que afectaron directamente los centros poblacionales y diversos sectores socioeconómicos, lo que permitió el detallar los desastres sufridos en Costa Rica por Ciclones Tropicales durante las últimas seis décadas. El análisis mostró que la tendencia encontrada en el reporte anual de impactos por eventos hidrometeorológicos no puede ser explicada totalmente por efectos climáticos, por lo que se hace necesario incluir variables socioeconómicas para hacerlo.
