Offshore siting of windenergy conversion systems

In a densely populated country such as The Netherlands it is almost impossible to install large numbers of large windturbines on the mainland. That was the main reason to investigate the possibilities of siting the windturbines offshore on the Dutch part of the North Sea Continental Shelf, with a further advantage of a higher windfactor. The...

Hydrography of the Dutch Wadden Sea

In this paper an attempt has been made to describe for the Dutch Wadden Sea water movement, transport of suspended matter and the cycle of suspended organic matter. Stress has been laid on the fact that these are related subjects, which therefore ought to be studied in combination. The discussion was based on observations made in the years 1949...
