The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) has funded the deployment of a Floating LiDAR System (FLS) at the Atlantic Marine Energy Test Site. In July 2025 Green Rebel successfully deployed the FLS at site A, where it will remain for up to three years. The FLS is equipped with a range of sensors that measure parameters associated with wind, current, waves etc. Green Rebel are responsible for the installation, operation, maintenance, data collection, telemetry and subsequent decommissioning of the FLS and provide SEAI with the data collected. On behalf of SEAI, the Marine Institute hosts, preserves and serves the data as part of the existing Master Service Agreement.

This dataset comprises of measurements taken by:

a ZX Lidars ZX300M, measuring wind data (speed and direction) at different heights. S/N = 1219

an Airmar 200WX Weather Station (attached to the ZX300M LiDAR), measuring wind data (speed and direction), atmospheric pressure, temperature and GNSS coordinate. S/N = 60942117

an Airmar 200WX Weather Station (standalone), measuring wind data (speed and direction), atmospheric pressure, temperature and GNSS coordinate. S/N = 60883621

a Nortek Signature 250 ADCP, measuring current profiles (speed and direction, downward facing) at different depths. S/N = 105691

a Vaisala WXT536 Weather Station, measuring temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure and precipitation. S/N = W0431640 an Airmar SS510 EchoRange, measuring depths (downward facing). S/N = 60908054

a RBR Duo CT, measuring conductivity and temperature. S/N = 237996

a differential GPS, measuring GNSS coordinates. S/N = 0025001B4247500A20353534

Data is collected on a daily basis by Green Rebel and submitted through quality control checks, including: Instrument level filtering, Consistency checks, Data and system availability assessments, Common time stamping and synchronisation, and FLS structure impacts removal. Data is then averaged at 10-minute intervals for reporting purposes.
