RPS has been collecting current and wave data in the lower portion of the Chesapeake Bay for the past 15 years using a bottom mounted Nortek AWAC. The data is used by the City of Norfolk and their coastal engineering consultant, Moffatt & Nichol, to support the design of a number of large coastal structures during that time and also to assess the performance of those structures during storm events. The data has also been used be a variety of organizations to support the calibration and validation of various wave and current models of the lower portion of the Bay.
