The authors proposed a climatic study of the Significant Wave Height (Hs) in the Colombian Basin analyzing the altimetry data taken by the satellites Jason-1, Topex-Poseidon, ERS-2, Envisat and Geosat-2 (GFO) cataloged in the AVISO Delayed Time Corrected Sea Surface Heights, between September 1992 and April 2009. Monthly mean significant wave heights were analyzed in 0.5° x 0.5° areas. They revealed higher values during January and February, when the Easterly Trade Winds reached their maximum and secondary maxima during June and July during the Veranillo. Inter-annual variability analysis on four 1° x 1° areas located near the Gulf of Urabá, Cartagena, Barranquilla and Riohacha showed significant wave height levels growing in a East/West direction, with exception of the Gulf of Urabá area that have a more protected position. Furthermore, there was no increase in the significant wave height maximum in the 1992-2009 period. The estimation of Significant Wave Heights for different return periods, showed heights of 4.17 and 4.53 m. (Riohacha), 4.75 and 5.11 m. (Barranquilla), 5.23 and 5.51 m. (Cartagena) and 4.83 and 5.43 m. (Urabá) for 10 and 50 years return periods respectively.Downloads
