MBARI WEC 2021 deployment

Description

This dataset includes data from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) wave energy converter (WEC) and a nearby located Sofar Spotter buoy. The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute has developed and deployed a small two-body point absorber wave energy device suitable to autonomous underwater vehicle, sensor system, and even aquaculture farm needs. For more information on the MBARI WEC see the research journal attached in the submission.
