Dunkirk (FRANCE) Client : ARTELIA Date of completion : 2017 Globocean has performed a metocean desktop study for the design of the offshore wind turbines deemed to be installed off Dunkirk. The following missions were performed by Globocean : Numerical modelling of the wave generation at oceanic scale (WaveWatch III software) Configuration and execution of the wave propagation model (SWAN software) Assessment and integration of the tidal levels and currents in the wave propagation modelling Validation of the wave modelling thanks to in-situ wave buoys (Candhis network) Assessment of the local wind regime Statistical analysis of the main wave regime (wave rose) and wind parameters on site (wind shear, vertical variation of the wind speed and direction, turbulence intensity) Liens : https://parc-eolien-en-mer-de-dunkerque.fr/

Groix & Belle-Ile (FRANCE) Client : ARTELIA Date of completion : 2014 - 2016 Globocean has performed an assessment of the wind and wave statistical conditions between the islands of Groix and Belle-Ile (Brittany) for the design of a floating wind farm. The following missions have been successfully performed by Globocean : Numerical simulation of the offshore swell (WaveWatchIII software) Wave propagation within the wind farm area (SWAN software) Validation of the wave modelling thanks to buoy in-situ measurements (local survey) Extreme statistical processing of the sea-states (uni-variate extreme analysis by EVA process and bi-variate by KDE contour plots) 1D and 2D spectral characterization

Port La Nouvelle (FRANCE) Client : CREOCEAN Date of completion : 2020 For the design study of a wind farm off Port-La-Nouvelle in the Western Mediterranean Sea, Globocean has provided the site specific wind and wave statistical conditions. The following steps have been successively realized for the realization of this study : Modelling of the offshore sea-states in the Gulf of Lion (WaveWatchIII software) Validation of the offshore wave modelling against offshore buoys (buoy MétéoFrance #61002 and buoy installed on the project site) Comparison against other pre-defined wave databases in grid point (IOWAGA) Uni-variate and Bi-variate extreme analysis of winds and waves (EVA process and KDE iso-value contours) Usual statistical analysis NSS Spectral analysis

LNG Terminal of FOS CAVAOU (FRANCE) Client : CREOCEAN Date of completion : 2021 - 2022 Globocean has performed a study of thermal spreading in order to ensure that the colder water rejected by an industrial process of re-gasification does not impact the biocenosis of the Gulf of Fos sur Mer. The different steps followed for the realization of this study, based on numerical modelling, are the followings: Modelling of the offshore sea-states (WaveWatchIII software) Wave propagation nearshore (SWAN software) Numerical simulation of the tidal streams and wind driven currents (TELEMAC 3D software) Validation of the hydrodynamic modelling thanks to current and temperature in-situ measurements Study of the spreading of the thermal plumes according to different pre-defined meteorological scenarios (TELEMAC 3D software)

New Harbour of DAKHLA ATLANTIQUE (MOROCCO) Client : MDC Ingénierie Date of completion : 2018 - 2020 For the design of the new harbour of Dakhla (Morocco), GLOBOCEAN has conducted metocean studies for the assessment of the extreme waves expected for the design of the breakwaters, of the wave disturbance within the harbour basins and the assessment of operability at berth, and of the sediment dynamics for the harbour maintenance and the evaluation of its impact in the vicinity. The different steps followed for the realization of this study, based on numerical modelling, are listed herebelow: Numerical simulation of the offshore waves (WaveWatchIII software) Extreme wave propagation up to the harbour structures and along the causeway (SWAN software, unstructured) Modelling of wave agitation within the harbour basins (ARTEMIS software) Numerical simulations of the hydro-sediment dynamics in order to assess the extreme currents expected along the harbour structures and its causeway, as well as the sea bottom changes (CMS-FLOW software) Assessment of the impact of the harbour on the coastline in the vicinity, detection of schemes of erosion or accumulation of sediments (GENESIS software)

Bay of Bandol (FRANCE) Client : ICTP / Mairie de Bandol Date of completion : 2022 In the purpose of the preparation of works for the coastline protection of the city of Bandol in France, Globocean has performed a diagnosis of the nearshore approaches and a study of the beaches dynamics. The different steps of study realization are the followings : Diagnosis of the coastline moves along the years (through satellite images) and the sea bottom changes (through bathymetric surveys) Modelling of the offshore sea-states (software WaveWatchIII) Wave propagation in the bay of Bandol for different swell scenarios (software SWAN) Simulation of the wave induced currents and trends of erosion or sand accumulation for the 4 beaches of the Bay of Bandol (softwares TELEMAC 3D and SYSIPHE module) Recommendations about protection measures to undertake for the coastline preservation
