In order to visualize the spatial and temporal distribution of the ocean current energy and OTEC resource, as part of the ocean energy atlas development we have produced very high-resolution maps of the following quantities / products:

  • Maps of the mean ocean surface current magnitude and direction for the PR/USVI region for calendar year 2019.

  • Maps of the mean instantaneous ocean current power density P for the PR/USVI region for calendar year 2019.

  • Maps of the mean temperature difference between the sea surface and 1 km depth for the PR/USVI region for calendar year 2019.

For custom products or for maps of specific regions please contact the Principal Investigator Miguel F Canals Silander via email: miguelf.canals@upr.edu.
