This site-wide search returns results for all documents, events, metadata, and stories in Tethys, prioritizing the best matches. Partial word matches are returned (e.g. "environment" finds "environmental"), but every entered term must be found. If you don't find any results, try reducing the number of words entered or removing special characters. Filters to the right can help narrow your search. Tethys now features an integrated search with other marine renewable energy databases in PRIMRE - click the buttons below "Showing Results for" to search other integrated databases.

- Conference Paper:
Waggitt et al.
Tidal stream turbines could have several direct impacts upon pursuit-diving seabirds foraging within tidal stream environments (mean horizontal current speeds > 2 ms−1), including collisions and displacement. Understanding how foraging seabirds respond to temporally variable but predictable hydrodynamic conditions immediately around devices could identify when interactions…

Schmitt et al.
This paper presents the first noise measurements of a quarter-scale subsea tidal kite (anchored to the sea floor by a tether and flying in a figure-eight configuration in the water column) operating in field conditions. Challenges in the measurement and post-processing of the data are detailed. Results are presented for three operating conditions of the kite: (1) varying turbine rotations per…

… turbines (Atlantis AR1500 and Andritz AHH1500) at the MeyGen project site, Pentland Firth, Scotland, UK. Underwater turbine noise may be important for acoustically sensitive marine mammals to detect turbines and avoid collision, but it may also negatively affect them, as … recorded from the Atlantis turbine. The results show that harbor seals (and probably other marine mammal species) will be able to detect operating tidal turbines at distances that are …
