The buoy-shaped device, which will be installed in 38 metres of water, will undertake a one-month validation and research programme, checked against the ORE Catapult's offshore anemometry mast, before being moved to France for a year-long campaign as part of an wind resource assessment for two unnamed commercial wind farms.
ORE Catapult project and technical manager Jonathan Hughes says: "It is really exciting to see our met mast being used to play a key part in a ground-breaking and innovative project to validate two dual-Lidar floating Lidar systems.
