Puerto Rico Wave Climate Atlas: Map Products
The figures below (click on thumbnail for high-resolution version) show maps of different statistical quantities that characterize Puerto Rico’s wave climate:
A map of the mean simulated significant wave height (in feet) from January 1 1979 - December 31 2018.
A map of the maximum simulated significant wave height (in feet) from January 1 1979 - December 31 2018.
A map of the mean simulated omnidirectional wave power (measured in kilowatts per meter of wave crest kW/m) from January 1 1979 - December 31 2018.
A map of the maximum simulated omnidirectional wave power (measured in kilowatts per meter of wave crest kW/m) from January 1 1979 - December 31 2018.
A map of the relative risk ratio RR = Max/Hmean (Neary et al., 2020). This quantity represents the ratio of the maximum 40-year simulated wave height at a specific location compared to the mean wave height.
Figures for the full PR/USVI region and for three subregions (Western PR, Eastern PR and USVI - except St. Croix) are provided here. For custom products or for maps of specific regions please contact the Principal Investigator Miguel F Canals Silander via email: miguelf.canals@upr.edu.
