In preparation for America’s first offshore wind farm, - capable of powering on average three-quarters of the Cape and Islands with clean, renewable energy - Cape Wind has erected a meteorological data tower on Horseshoe Shoal, in Nantucket Sound. Surface current speed, direction and water temperature are updated every 6 minutes. Wind speed, direction and gust, air temperature and pressure are updated every 10 minutes. Wave height, period and direction are updated every 30 minutes. Wind data is collected at 20m above sea surface.
