Projects - Terminal and Ports Shell Anacortes Current/Wave Study Polaris Applied Sciences was coordinating a larger study for Shell Oil at one of their terminals near Anacortes and contracted ASL to obtain current profile and directional wave data near the terminal. ASL personnel deployed an RDI ADCP on a bottom frame and recovered it one month later. The data were passed on to Polaris for processing and inclusion into their study.  Printable Version Tacoma Narrows Bridge Footing Study An ADCP current survey was conducted in Tacoma Narrows during the February 18-19 2000 period of “spring” tides. The current data were required as input for design specifications for a proposed new bridge. The proposed bridge would parallel the existing bridge, with an offset of about 180 feet.  Printable Version Metocean Study, NW Bioko Island, EG An metocean measurement program is underway at 6 coastal locations off northwestern Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea.  At each site, the measurements include current profiles, ocean waves, water levels, and water temperatures. A coastal weather station is also installed and operating.  The measurements will span a full one year period, with extensive analysis of the data, to characterize the metocean conditions for input to design of ship loading facilities.
