Data were collected from July 2022 through July 2024. All campaigns were conducted under TGS's multi-client approach, allowing multiple customers to access the same floating LiDAR data. TGS used the collected data to bias-correct its high-resolution Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) model simulations, creating a validated high-resolution wind resource dataset along the U.S. East Coast. Both the quality-controlled measurement data and the bias-corrected NWP model data are being utilised by developers to inform and refine their bidding strategies for BOEM’s upcoming Central Atlantic offshore wind lease auction.
