Effect of Climate Variability Events over the Colombian Caribbean Offshore Wind Resource

The need for reducing the CO<sub>2</sub> emissions and fossil fuel dependence of several countries generated a growing interest for the Renewables. The Caribbean Sea is characterized by persistent and high magnitude winds, which suggest an important source of offshore wind energy. Recent...
