Team & Partners

Contributing Laboratories

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)

The Ocean Dynamics and Modeling Group at PNNL develops and runs the hydrodynamic models underlying the hindcast datasets, including model domain design, boundary forcing, and validation against observational data.

Sandia National Laboratories (SNL)

Sandia's Marine Energy Resource Characterization program contributes wave model development and data generation, and catalogs the statistics needed to assess energy conversion opportunities, constraints, and risks at wave and tidal energy sites.

National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR)

The Marine Energy Resource Characterization Team at NLR processes raw model outputs into standardized, publicly accessible datasets, and manages quality control, value-added product derivation, documentation, and distribution through AWS S3 and the Marine Energy Atlas.

Funding

The U.S. Department of Energy Hydropower and Hydrokinetic Office (H2O) supports this project.
