Evaluando un nodo de reanálisis de oleaje mediante información de una boya colocada en aguas intermedias.

The wave reanalysis is an important source of information to develop research projects related to wave climate and coastal engineering applications. This source of information is more relevant in places where it lacks historical registers coming from instrumental measurements as well as happens in Costa Rica. However, as the wave reanalysis is generated from a numerical model, it needs to be calibrated and validated with instrumental measurement. This investigation has used the wave reanalysis's node located in deep water, coming from NOAA, in front of Caribbean's Costa Rica coast. This information has been calibrated and validated with a buoy information. The product is a wave data base calibrated from 2005 onwards, which it is monthly updated; moreover, this information could be used in many coastal engineering applications and in wave climate variability analysis approximations.
