Prior to the undertaking of this particular measurement campaign, the former aspect was obtained by the Client from data provided by a recent bathymetric survey. This enabled the most suitable sites to be identified for the study of the tidal flow aspect. Wallingford Environmental Surveys Ltd (WES Ltd) was therefore commissioned in July 2008 to measure the tidal currents at three specified fixed (static) locations for a period of 30 days. Vesselborne (dynamic) current measurements were also undertaken throughout the area of interest to augment the data from the static devices to enable mapping of the spatial variation of the tidal flow by extrapolation.
