WireWall – a new approach to coastal wave hazard measurements
A new collaborative NERC-funded research project, led by the National Oceanography Centre and HR Wallingford, is taking a low-cost instrument previously used to measure waves in the open ocean, and converting it into an easily relocatable overtopping measurement system – WireWall – that can more confidently assess coastal overtopping hazards, and so help to optimise
Progress on UK Tidal Energy Developments
