Short summary
The extreme waves caused by tropical cyclones and cold fronts have different effects along the Colombian Caribbean coast. Storms and hurricanes are of greater importance in the northern region of the Colombian Caribbean coast. In the central and the southern region, the strong influence of cold fronts on extreme waves is evident. In the islands of San Andrés and Providencia, the extreme waves generated by cold fronts have lower return periods than the extreme waves associated with hurricanes.
The extreme waves caused by tropical cyclones and cold fronts have different effects along the...
