摘要
Wave Energy Flux (WEF) in the Colombian Caribbean Sea is assessed using a 60 years wave reanalysis from 1958 to 2017. Significant wave height (H-s) and mean wave energy period (T-m_1,T-0) are validated against in situ buoy data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and from the Direccion General Maritima in the Central Caribbean Sea and in front of the Colombian shelf. WEF is calculated at virtual buoys allocated in the central Caribbean, at the continental shelf and around insular territories revealing a long-term decrease in magnitude with an annual rate between 0.01 and 0.2% with different regional behavior. In addition, WEF variations at interannual scale are found to be associated with ENSO phases. Wave energy power decreased from 1989 to 2017 in all analyzed locations. (C) 2021 Elsevier Ltd.
