    Floating LiDAR BUOY Data: Beginning August 2019

    Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

    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.
