Wave and Current Research Improves Metocean Forecasts
A new study has documented the first simultaneous observations of waves and currents in Norway’s Lofoten Maelstrom – one of the world’s strongest open-ocean tidal current systems. The observations, born out of a collaboration between the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, the Norwegian Coastal Agency and Nortek AS, will help make fishing and seafaring in the area safer.
