Sea level extremes in the Caribbean Sea [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2014 AbstractSea level extremes in the Caribbean Sea are analyzed on the basis of hourly records from 13 tide gauges. The largest sea level extreme observed is 83 cm at Port Spain. The largest nontidal residual in the records is 76 cm, forced by a category 5 hurricane. Storm surges in the Caribbean are primarily caused by tropical storms and stationary cold

Physical environments of the Caribbean Sea [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography, 2012 The Caribbean Sea encompasses a vast range of physical environmental conditions that have a profound influence on the organisms that live there. Here we utilize a range of satellite and in situ products to undertake a region‐wide categorization of the physical environments of the Caribbean Sea (PECS).

ENSO Modulates Mean Currents and Mesoscale Eddies in the Caribbean Sea
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Although El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and its global impacts through teleconnection have been known for decades, if and how the mean currents and mesoscale eddies in the Caribbean Sea are linked to ENSO remains an open question. Here, by analyzing
