Multimedia ·
OSTI ID:1369552

After a 19-month deployment off the coast of Virginia, one of PNNL’s research buoys has returned to shore where researchers can analyze the data recorded by the buoy. The data revealed a few major takeaways that will inform future buoy deployments, including the times and conditions when data measurement is most accurate. Through the Department of Energy's Wind Energy Technologies Office's Lidar Buoy Loan Program, managed by PNNL, interested parties can borrow the buoys for year and contribute invaluable data to the wind energy community.
