Oceanographic Time Series Measurements Collected at Dorado, Puerto Rico

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) deployed thirteen pressure loggers (RBR) to measure water levels and wave conditions on a reef-lined coast in Dorado, Puerto Rico. These loggers were positioned along a cross-shore transect that extends 1.8 kilometers from the coast (on the forereef, reef crest, and reef flat) and at various points within the reef embayment. Initial deployments began in August 2022 and were concluded by March 2023. Data from the pressure loggers can be found in this release. Along with beach elevation surveys and video camera monitoring, this data will be used to validate forecasts for various coastal processes, including shoreline changes, total water levels, wave runup, and dune erosion during extreme storms (https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/data/dorado/).
