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...

It is known that the wave breaking process significantly affected by a current, but little attention has been paid to effect of wave–current interaction on forces acting monopile. This study presented total 88 flume tests, among which solitary and regular waves were generated with following current. The propagated over an impermeable slope induced impulsive loads vertical moments monopile measu...
