Underserved communities, especially those in coastal areas in Puerto Rico, face significant threats from natural hazards such as hurricanes and rising sea levels. Limited funding hinders the investment in costly mitigation measures, increasing exposure to natural disasters. Providing coastal resources and data products through effective communication mechanisms is fundamental to improving the well-being of these underserved coastal communities. The overall objectives of the pilot effort to engage and ...

Teledyne© RDI Sentinel-V Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) were deployed at Madeira Beach, Florida at site MB2, located 1.9 kilometers (km) from the shoreline at 5.6-meters (m) depth (27.78897, -82.81229). The ADCPs measured pressure, bottom temperature, velocity profiles, and derived waves parameters. This data release includes data from March 2021 to September 2023. ADCP data collection at this site has been ongoing since 2017 and will be added in future releases.

Pressure loggers were deployed at two sites at Madeira Beach, Florida: MB1, located 30.9 kilometers (km) offshore at 21.0-meters (m) depth (27.71652, -83.09532) from October 2021 to October 2023; and MB2, located 1.9 kilometers from the shoreline at 5.6-m depth (27.78897, -82.81229) from March 2021 to September 2023. This data release also includes a single pressure logger deployment at site MB3, located 23 meters northwest of MB2 (27.78910, -82.81248) at 5.7-m depth from May 2021 to August 2021.

Spotter buoys were deployed at Madeira Beach, Florida at site MB1, located 30.9 kilometers (km) offshore and at 21.0-meters (m) depth (27.71652, -83.09532) from August 2021 to October 2023. These wave buoys were connected to underwater sensors through a Smart Mooring, and measured wave parameters, pressure, and water temperature.

Pressure loggers were deployed at Dorado Beach, Puerto Rico along a cross-shore transect on the forereef (sites TS, T1 and T2), reef crest (site T3) and reef flat (sites T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, T9). Additionally, pressure loggers were placed west and east to the transect (sites W1 and E1, respectively), and at a channel in the northeast side of the embayment (site C1). These instruments were deployed from October 2022 to March 2023, with the exception of site T9, which was deployed from December 2022 to March ...

Two digital video cameras were installed at Isla Verde, Puerto Rico (PR); camera 1 faced northeast offshore and camera 2 faced east-northeast along the beach. Every hour during daylight hours, daily starting in August 2022, the camera collected raw video and produced snapshots and time-averaged image products. This metadata record is for camera 1 and includes the necessary intrinsic orientation (IO) and extrinsic orientation (EO) calibration data to utilize imagery to make quantitative measurements. The ...
