TRIAXYS data from the NNMREC-SETS, for Nov. 2014 Jan. 2015, and May 2015 Dec. 2015. The data consists of: Date, Time, significant wave height (1 hour average), significant wave period (1 hour average).

The TidGen Power System generates emission-free electricity from tidal currents and connects directly into existing grids using smart grid technology. The power system consists of three major subsystems: shore-side power electronics, mooring system, and turbine generator unit (TGU...

Drifting hydrophone measurements obtained around the Ocean Renewable Power Company RivGen turbine near the village of Igiugig, Alaska in August, 2014. Each data set contains hydrophone voltage (as well as gain and sensitivity), position on the river (LAT, LONG, and proximity to tu...

Wave statistics computed using output from the NOAA WWIII hindcast simulations, spanning thirty years from 1980 to 2009. The statistics are computed based on frequency-directional variance density spectra every three hours for 1951 locations in US waters.

Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data from seafloor tripods in Admiralty Inlet, Puget Sound, Washington. Data collected from April 2009 through December 2012. When using the data, please cite the J. Oceanic Eng. paper included in this submission, and please contact Jim Tho...

Includes extreme significant wave heights, in meters, computed using peaks over threshold method on NOAA 30-year WWIII hindcast data. Extreme values for 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 year return periods were computed. Sites cover US coastlines. Column 1: Site identifier/name Column 2: S...

The development of this dataset was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy, Water Power Technologies Office to improve our understanding of the U.S. wave energy resource and to provide critical information for wave energy project de...

During the summer and fall of 2011 TerraSond Ltd. (TerraSond) completed a bathymetric survey and hydrokinetic energy assessment of the Kvichak River at Igiugig, Alaska. The purpose of this work was to characterize the initial site conditions for the design and installation of a hy...

The compressed (.zip) file contains Datawell MK-III Directional Waverider binary and unpacked data files as well as a description of the data and manuals for the instrumentation. The data files are contained in the two directories within the zip file, "Apr_July_2012" and "Jun_Sept...

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--base...
