Wave-resolved dynamics and power generation at the Mutriku wave farm: Oceanic resonance and evidence of Zipf’s law

In this study, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) records sampled at 0.5 s intervals at the Mutriku wave farm, covering the period from August 2018 to July 2019, were analyzed. The dataset was decomposed into more than 3.2 million individual pressure cycles of varyi...

Multi-decadal assessment of wave power and variability from satellite altimetry observations in Ireland

Thirty years of observations from a calibrated multi-mission satellite altimetry dataset are employed to assess the Irish wave power density (energy flux) as well as its long-term variability. The significant wave height and the back-scatter coefficient measured by the altimeters...
