The Puerto Rico Wave Climate Atlas was funded by the Puerto Rico Department of Natural Resources (through the Puerto Rico Coastal Zone Management Program) and with funds from The Puerto Rico Science, Technology and Research Trust. Administrative, financial and technical support was also provided by UPR Sea Grant and CARICOOS. The Puerto Rico Wave Climate Atlas is a tool to analyze seasonal, interannual and long-term changes in Puerto Rico’s wave climate over the 40-year period from 1979-2019 using very high-resolution numerical simulations. These simulations have been validated with CARICOOS buoy data to ensure the atlas accurately captures PR’s wave climate. This atlas is meant to serve as a tool for scientists, planners, engineers and other professionals working in Puerto Rico’s coastal zone.
