NOAA and AEA recently signed a Memorandum of Agreement to complete this project. Over the next few years, NOAA will be measuring and modeling water levels and three-dimensional current, salinity, and temperature fields within Cook Inlet to identify regions with promise for the generation of hydrokinetic energy. NOAA and AEA hope to gather input from stakeholders with interests in hydrokinetic energy in Cook Inlet to compile the needed observations, engineering requirements, and environmental considerations.
