“…At the same time, as wave and atmospheric data collected can be used for assimilation in operational wave prediction systems as indicated earlier [43][44][45][46], the oceanographic parameters can be used for validating circulation systems within the area of coverage [47,48]. Thus, these VOO data complement other conventional oceanographic data measured at fixed locations with various coastal ocean observing systems (e.g., [49]) that may include shore-based high-frequency radars (able to map ocean surface currents and waves over a two-dimensional area), X-band radars [50][51][52] and coastal moored buoys.…”

This paper focuses on the state of the art on Autonomous Observing Systems (AOS) used in Vessels of Opportunity (VOO) for collecting in situ atmospheric, oceanic and biogeochemical data. The designation Vessels of Opportunity includes all kinds of ships, even if not having scientific goals, which may carry proper devices that autonomously measure environmental variables. These vessels can be merchant, military, research, cruise liners, fishing, ferries, or even private yachts or sailing boats. The use of AOS can provide the opportunity for highly refined oceanographic data and improved derived data estimation, for local, regional or global scales studies. However, making the collected information accessible, both for scientific and technical purposes, provides a challenge in data management and analysis, which must, above all, ensure trusted useful data to the stakeholders. An overall review of the systems implemented is presented. This includes the definition of objectives, the recruitment of vessels and a review on the installation of proper acquisition devices; the selection and collection of Essential Oceanic Variables (EOV); the mechanisms for transmitting the information, and the quality control analysis and dissemination of data. The present and future capabilities of VOO for measuring EOV, within the Portuguese context are referred.

“…The design of the tension leg platform which is the main subject of this paper has been used as a reference for the design of a wind farm in the north of Spain [24]. For this area, the environmental conditions have been assessed using specific models to determine the conditions of wind [25], waves [26], and currents [27].…”

An assessment is made of the stress distribution and the hydrodynamic response of the preliminary structural design of the tension leg platform of a 10 MW wind turbine. The platform supporting a 10 MW turbine is modelled and analysed by the finite element method. The stress distribution of the platform is determined in still water with the turbine at above-rated conditions, and the response of the tension leg platform is estimated in the time domain. The results of the time domain analysis show reasonable agreement between the present results and the available data. To check the design stiffener dimensions, span, and spacing against stress distribution, classification societies’ recommendations are used. The results of the stress distribution analysis indicate that the critical locations of the platform are the interaction of the lower columns with the upper columns and the connection of the tower of the turbine.
