Ocean Modelling for Resource Characterization
Abstract
In situ measurement campaigns are costly, particularly in the environments, which, by their very nature, are characterized by the strong tidal currents or energetic waves that are suitable for generating electricity. Even the best-funded offshore energy operations suffer from logistical difficulties when it comes to making field measurements in remote locations, and where specialist instruments, vessels, and expertise are required to gather, process, and interpret data. In addition, field campaigns take time; for example, several months of data are often required to characterize tidal conditions at a site, and often several years or more of wave data to characterize the interannual ...
