The Inner Shelf Response to Wind-Driven Upwelling and Downwelling*
A two-dimensional numerical model is used to study the response to upwellingand downwelling-favorable winds on a shelf with a strong pycnocline. During upwelling or downwelling, the pycnocline intersects the surface or bottom, forming a front that moves offshore. The characteristics of the front and of the inner shelf inshore of the front are quite different for upwelling and downwelling. For a...
متن کاملMapping Seabird Sensitivity to Offshore Wind Farms
We present a Geographic Information System (GIS) tool, SeaMaST (Seabird Mapping and Sensitivity Tool), to provide evidence on the use of sea areas by seabirds and inshore waterbirds in English territorial waters, mapping their relative sensitivity to offshore wind farms. SeaMaST is a freely available evidence source for use by all connected to the offshore wind industry and will assist statutor...
متن کاملPricing offshore wind power
Offshore wind offers a very large clean power resource, but electricity from the first US offshore wind contracts is costlier than current regional wholesale electricity prices. To better understand the factors that drive these costs, we develop a pro-forma cash flow model to calculate two results: the levelized cost of energy, and the breakeven price required for financial viability. We then d...
متن کاملCalifornia offshore wind energy potential
This study combines multi-year mesoscale modeling results, validated using offshore buoys with highresolution bathymetry to create a wind energy resource assessment for offshore California (CA). The siting of an offshore wind farm is limited by water depth, with shallow water being generally preferable economically. Acceptable depths for offshore wind farms are divided into three categories: 20...
متن کاملOWO – An Offshore Wind Ontology
This document describes a development process of an offshore wind ontology based on the IEC 61400-25 standard. The methodology “METHONDOLOGY” and Protégé are used to build the ontology. Introduction Organizational units and information technology systems rarely last more than a few years. Only some parts of the data from these systems are used for decades and become one of the main assets. Obvi...
