Abstract

This data was compiled for the 'Early Market Opportunity Hot Spot Identification' project. The data and scripts included were used in the 'MHK Energy Site Identification and Ranking Methodology' Reports (see resources below). The Python scripts will generate a set of results--based on the Excel data files--some of which were described in the reports. The scripts depend on the 'score_site' package, and the score site package depends on a number of standard Python libraries (see the score_site install instructions).

2017 Western Passage Tidal Energy Resource Characterization Measurements

Dataset Kilcher, Levi

These data are from tidal resource characterization measurements collected between April and July 2017 in Western Passage near Eastport, Maine, USA. The dataset contains the following four sub-datasets, each of which is described in more detail in the README.pdf. 1. A bottom-mounted Teledyne RDI Workhorse 600 kHz acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) was deployed at 44.92015 N, 66.98915 W in ~50 m of water from 3 April to 18 July (106 days). Data were recorded in 6-minute increments in the ENU (East, magnetic North, Up) coordinate system with bin-mapping enabled. 2. A bottom-mounted Nortek Signature 500 kHz ADCP was deployedmore »« less
Tidal Energy Site Characterization East Forelands Alaska

Dataset Kilcher, Levi

During the summer field season in 2012, Benthic GeoScience Inc. (Benthic) mobilized under contract with Ocean Renewable Power Company (ORPC) in order to conduct precise geospatial measurements of the seafloor accomplishing a preliminary Site Characterization Study for the ORPC East Forelands Tidal Energy Power Project. This study included a high-density bathymetric survey, acoustic reflective intensity imagery, and an assessment of the physical character of the ORPC East Forelands Tidal Energy Power Project environment. The Multibeam Echosounder (MBES) survey included a large area surrounding the East Forelands of Cook Inlet in the vicinity of Nikiski, Alaska. Included in this submission aremore »« less
ALFA MHK Biological Monitoring Stationary Deployment - South Energy Test Site, Newport, Oregon

Dataset Horne, John

Acoustic backscatter data from a WBAT operating at 70kHz deployed at PMEC-SETS from April to September of 2016. 180 pings were collected at 1Hz every two hours, as part of the Advanced Laboratory and Field Arrays (ALFA) for Marine Energy project. Data was subject to preliminary processing (noise removal, a threshold of -75dB was applied, surface turbulence and data below 0.5m from the bottom was removed).
Tidal Energy Resource Characterization, Bottom Lander Measurements, Cook Inlet, AK, 2021

Dataset Kilcher, Levi ; McVey, James

These datasets are from tidal resource characterization measurements collected on the Terrasond High Energy Oceanographic Mooring (THEOM) from 1 July 2021 to 30 August 2021 (60 days) in Cook Inlet, Alaska. The lander was deployed at 60.7207031 N, 151.4294998 W in ~50 m of water. The dataset contains raw and processed data from the following two instruments: 1. A Nortek Signature 500 kHz acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP). Data were recorded in 4 Hz in the beam coordinate system from all 5 beams. Processed data has been averaged into 5 minutes bins and converted to the East-North-Up (ENU) coordinate system.more »« less
Version 2 - Tidal Energy Resource Characterization, Velocity and Turbulence Measurements, Cook Inlet, AK, 2021

Dataset Kilcher, Levi ; McVey, James

Version 2 of MHKDR submission #475, which also contains the metadata for these measurements. Files here are stored in netCDF4 format, which can be read in Python using the "netcdf4" or "xarray" packages or in MATLAB using the "ncread()" function. Changes are as follows: MWM1 (mid-water mooring 1) ADV - Time length of data now ends when bottom track data is lost - Improved filtering and quality control of bottom track measurements - improved motion correction of velocity - Improved Doppler noise subtraction - improved velocity, turbulent kinetic energy (TKE), Reynolds stress, time interval (TI), and dissipation rate estimations MWM1more »« less
