The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) Marine Sciences Laboratory (MSL) plans to temporarily deploy two Light Detection and Ranging {LIDAR) wind resource assessment buoys off the eastern end of Dungeness Spit in Clallam County, Washington. The deployment is scheduled for mid-September 2014 and will last for up to 2 months to provide lime for acceptance and capability testing of the buoys. Upon completion of the testing, the buoys and moorings will be removed from the water and stored at the MSL or a nearby location to await deployment elsewhere in the U.S.
