Experimental validation of an open-source low-cost single-camera 6-DOF tracking of floating-body motion in wave tanks
Herman Martens Meyer, Paul Fromont, Ãystein Lande +2
Accurately measuring motion of floating structures in experimental settings is both important and non-trivial. In this paper, we present a single-camera, 6-degree-of-freedom motion…
ORB: An Open Radio Buoy for Coastal Water Measurements
Lars Willas Dreyer, Andrea Pferscher, Riccardo Sieve +4
Oceanographic instrumentation technology is currently under rapid transition towards increasingly open-source technology. Open-source buoys compete with commercial and closed-sourc…
Experimental investigation of a multi-buoy cooperative point-absorber wave energy converter
Herman Martens Meyer, Leif Arne Tønnessen, Olav Gundersen +1
This study presents a proof-of-concept experimental investigation of a multi-buoy cooperative point-absorber wave energy converter (WEC). The proposed concept consists of an array…
Direct in-situ observations of wave-induced floe collisions in the deeper Marginal Ice Zone
Lars Willas Dreyer, Jean Rabault, Atle Jensen +4
Ocean waves propagating through the Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ) and the pack ice are strongly attenuated. This attenuation is critical for protecting sea ice from energetic wave events…
An OpenMetBuoy dataset of Marginal Ice Zone dynamics collected around Svalbard in 2022 and 2023
Jean Rabault, Catherine Taelman, Martina IdžanoviÄ +28
Sea ice is a key element of the global Earth system, with a major impact on global climate and regional weather. Unfortunately, accurate sea ice modeling is challenging due to the…
Buoy measurements of strong waves in ice amplitude modulation: a signature of complex physics governing waves in ice attenuation
J. Rabault, T. Halsne, A. Carrasco +25
The Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ) forms a critical transition region between the ocean and sea ice cover as it protects the close ice further in from the effect of the steepest and most…
