Measure Currents and waves on a coral reef on the west side of Puerto Rico for the purposes of calibrating and validating coastal wave and inundation models
Location
Caribbean Sea
Mona Straight
Summary
Water level, wave direction, wave height, and wave period data were collected. The current meter flooded and thus no current speed nor current direction data were recorded.
Time series data of wave height and water surface elevation were acquired for 147 days at eleven locations, in two cross-reef transects, off of the west coast of Rincon, Puerto Rico, in support of a study on the coastal circulation patterns and the transformation of surface waves over the coral reefs.
