SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Purpose of the Meeting
The DOE is supporting a project
through Oregon State University (OSU)
to develop and assess the performance
of a method for using wave-resolving
marine radar to provide all weather,
large-area, phase-resolved, wave
forecasts for wave energy converter
control applications. The target time
horizon for the forecasts will be 3–5
minutes (min) and the target spatial
domain will be approximately 3–5
kilometers (km) on a side. A wave
forecasting system based on waveresolving marine radar data will be
developed and implemented. The main
components of the system are a wave
imaging marine radar, a phase-resolving
linear wave model based on Mild Slope
Equations (Polar-MSE), and a variational
inversion algorithm which produces the
wave forecast via estimation of the
offshore wave boundary conditions.
Presently, the algorithm is being
validated via testing using synthetic
data and comparison to a limited set of
in situ observations. The purpose of the
meeting is for DOE and OSU to obtain
feedback from the marine renewable
energy industry regarding field testing
and verification of the wave-by-wave
forecasting system under development.
