The Mid Atlantic Current Hindcast MACH

MACH utilises state of the art assimilative layered ocean modelling techniques forced by high integrity wind fields and is validated against extensive in-situ oceanographic measurements, resulting in a major update to existing hindcast studies throughout the region. High resolution nested grids covering principal oil and gas concession areas, provide high quality long-term detailed characterization of ambient and extreme ocean current conditions through the full water column, with significant economic, safety and environmental benefits for the engineering design and operation of offshore field developments.
