The research shows an analysis of both wave energy potential in the seas adjacent to Cuba and extreme meteorological phenomena that could damage the facilities exploiting such resource. The data of the parameters of the sea states were obtained from the outputs of the WAVEWATCH III model, in the 2000-2018 period, available in the database of the United States' National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The analysis of extreme meteorological events affecting the western and eastern regions showed that the former is more likely to be affected by such phenomena. Despite the limitations imposed by the resolution of the grid used, it was found that the wave potential in the seas adjacent to Cuba is generally limited, and there are usable wave power density levels only at the western and eastern ends of the island.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
