Model interfaced radar for improved
- peration and control (MORA)
Overall goals of project
- 1. Increase the revenue of wave energy and offshore wind.
- 2. Reduce risk and operational expenditure in all sea state limited
- ffshore operations.
Project period: October 1st 2017 – September 31st 2019 More information: www.morapro.eu

5 steps to improve parameter estimation confidence
- 1. Increase resolution of radar system
- 2. Increase update rate
- 3. Site specific models/processing
- 4. Better met data input
- 5. Multiple sensor coverage
