Dunkirk offshore wind farm — Current measures collected on the study area

A current study was conducted on the EMR study area off Dunkirk. Two Aquadopp monolayer currentometers and two AWAC holograph current profiles were deployed in 2016 on tripod cages placed on the bottom. The current measurement files collected during this campaign are made available (time-based components of speed). Two instrumented anchorages were deployed in the Dunkirk EMR study area: — from 1 to 23/09/2016 for anchorage No 1 AWAC_1 (F0542, 51° 10,118′N/002° 24.633′E) — from 6/09 to 9/10/2016 for anchorage No 2 AWAC_2 (F0544, 51° 11,581′N/002° 24,244′E) Each anchorage had two types of currentometers: a holograph acoustic profiler (AWAC, NORTEK), a single-layer currentometer.
