Wave Measurements taken NW of Culebra Is., PR, 2023
Wave and sea surface temperature measurements collected by a Sofar Spotter buoy in 2023. The buoy was deployed on July 27, 2023 at 11:30 UTC northwest of Culebra Island, Puerto Rico, (18.3878 N, 65.3899 W) and recovered on Nov 5, 2023 at 12:45 UTC.
Data are saved here in netCDF format, organized by month, and include directional wave statistics, GPS, and SST measurements at 30-minute intervals. Figures produced from these data are provided here as well. They include timeseries of wave height/period/direction and SST, GPS location, wave roses, and directional spectra. Additionally, raw CSV files from the Spotter's memory card can also be found below.
NetCDF files can be read in python using the netCDF4 or Xarray packages, or through MATLAB using the "ncread()" command.
