Environmental design criteria for the 1/3 scale OTEC cold water pipe at-sea test site off Honolulu, Hawaii
Abstract
In order to expedite development of the design of the 1/3 scale At-Sea Test CWP/Platform/Mooring System, environmental design criteria data at the proposed At-Sea Test site evaluated from available historic data is provided. An evaluation of the available data to date is described. It is expected that as the design develops actual site specific observation will be obtained to verify these critical design criteria.
