Floating LiDAR BUOY Data: Beginning August 2019

Two multi-year contracts were awarded to study the meteorological and oceanographic (“metocean”) conditions using LiDAR (light detection and ranging) technology in the waters off the Atlantic coast of New York, called the New York Bight. Metocean buoys were deployed for two years in multiple locations (Hudson South and Hudson North) to measure turbine hub-height wind speed and direction, wave and current measurements, as well as other environmental data.

Executing this multi-year project advances and supports New York’s Green New Deal, a nation-leading clean energy and jobs agenda that puts New York on a path to carbon neutrality through a globally unprecedented ramp-up of renewable energy including an increase of New York’s offshore wind target to 9,000 megawatts by 2035, up from 2,400 megawatts by 2030.

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) offers objective information and analysis, innovative programs, technical expertise, and support to help New Yorkers increase energy efficiency, save money, use renewable energy, accelerate economic growth, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

两项为期多年的合同已被授予，旨在利用激光雷达（光探测与测距）技术在纽约大西洋沿岸水域，即纽约湾地区，研究气象学和海洋学条件。在多个地点（哈德逊南岸和哈德逊北岸）部署了为期两年的海洋气象浮标，以测量风力涡轮机轮毂高度的风速和风向、波浪和洋流测量以及其他环境数据。执行这一跨年度项目有助于推进和支持纽约的绿色新政，这是一项全国领先的清洁能源和就业议程，通过全球史无前例的可再生能源的激增，将纽约置于走向碳中和的路径上，包括到2035年将纽约的离岸风能目标提高至9,000兆瓦，从2030年的2,400兆瓦大幅增加。纽约州能源研究与开发署（NYSERDA）提供客观的信息和分析、创新项目、技术专长和支持，以帮助纽约居民提高能源效率、节省资金、使用可再生能源、加速经济增长并减少对化石燃料的依赖。欲了解更多关于NYSERDA项目的信息，请访问nyserda.ny.gov或关注我们的X、Facebook、YouTube或Instagram。
