| Also known as | Rincon | ||||||||
| Purpose | 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. | ||||||||
| Info derived | currents, waves, water levels | ||||||||

| Rincon, Puerto Rico, wave and water level data, 2019 | wavegauge | 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. | Kurt Rosenberger |
