Key Drivers for Offshore Wind Deployment in the Western United States

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The western coast of the United States has abundant natural resources, including wind, sun, and water. Despite strong ocean winds, offshore wind energy (OSW) in the Western United States is in the early stages of technology development due largely to the deep water off the coast, which requires floating platforms rather than fixed‐bottom ...

Seasonal Forecasts of pH and Aragonite Saturation for the Bering Sea Shelf

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The number of numerical model forecasts of ocean environmental conditions has greatly expanded in recent years, including biogeochemical variables. Forecasts can provide marine resource managers with advance warning of extreme events such as heatwaves and hypoxia, though forecast products are scarcer in high‐latitude environments.

Robust Regional Contrast but Penetration‐Sensitive Snow Thickness Over Sea Ice From Multi‐Winter Antarctic CRYO2ICE Observations

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Snow on Antarctic sea ice modulates albedo, thermodynamic growth, and snow–ice formation, yet remains a leading uncertainty in altimetry‐derived sea‐ice thickness. Here we use the post‐2022 CRYO2ICE configuration to derive along‐track winter snow thickness from ICESat‐2 laser and CryoSat‐2 Ku‐band radar freeboards over the Weddell and Ross ...

Experimental investigation of nonlinear dynamic tension in mooring lines

Journal of Marine Science and Technology, 2012
Mooring lines are one of the most important parts of spar platforms. In this work, experimental investigation was carried out to obtain the dynamic tension and discover the nonlinear characters while a mooring line transfers from taut to taut–slack. Results show that, when system parameters change, the mooring line system may transform from one steady ...

Validation of Mooring Simulations (for Mooring Integrity Assessment) With In-Service Tension Measurements

Volume 1: Offshore Technology, 2021
Abstract Integrity of mooring system is of high importance in the offshore industry. In-service assessment of loads in the mooring lines is however very challenging. Direct monitoring of mooring line loads through load cells or inclinometers requires subsea installation work and continuous data transmission.

Experimental evaluation of the tension mooring effect on the response of moored ships

Coastal Engineering, 2014
Abstract Tension mooring may be applied to improve operational and security conditions of exposed port terminals. This paper analyses the influence of the type of fender facing on the efficacy of tension mooring in terms of reduction of the moored ship motions and improvement of the operational and security conditions at berth.
