The Ocean Energy System’s (OES) annual report on the state of the industry provides a comprehensive overview of international developments on ocean energy. In its country by country coverage (including a chapter on Canada), the report provides an in depth look at the international state of play in the ocean energy world (tidal, wave and in-river).
The feature that pops out is the wake behind Black Rock Island. The wake is shown in highly resolved detail, demonstrating its exact range and location. Other key details emerge which have never before been characterized; in particular, a jet, and associated large eddies, appears off Ram’s Head headland to the NW of the FORCE region. There is also clear evidence of trails of persistent turbulence from subsurface features/bathymetry.
