Description
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. The relative placement of sensors on the reef were as follows:
PRI19N01 – offshore reef crest, north transect
PRI19N02, PRI19N03 – offshore reef flat, north transect
PRI19S03 – offshore reef flat, south transect
PRI19N04, PRI19N05 and PRI19N06 – inner reef flat, north transect
PRI19S04, PRI19S05, PRI19S06, PRI19S07 and PRI19S08 – inner reef flat, south transect
