ELWIND has entered into an agreement with Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) to carry out water quality research in the Estonian offshore wind farm area.

Water quality indicators will be measured during two different time periods in two water layers through continuous monitoring:

During the non-stratified period
During the stratified period

The aim is to identify water quality indicators through autonomous continuous monitoring, which will serve as input for:

Determining the state of the aquatic environment
Future modeling of water quality changes to assess potential impacts

The research will be conducted over a period of 1.5 years.

From Arctic sea ice to the North Sea to the waters offshore Louisiana, applied marine science is looking beneath the surface, testing which new observing technologies earn the trust needed for wider adoption, and what it takes to turn ambitious science plans into safe and reliable work practices in marine environments.
