In April 2024, researchers published a metocean study of the Sørlige Nordsjø II area using the NORA3 hindcast dataset for 1982–2022, providing high-resolution climatology for wind and wave conditions. The work characterises mean and extreme wind speeds, wave heights, and joint distributions of key parameters, confirming SN II as one of the North Sea’s most promising regions for offshore wind and supplying design-relevant data for projects in the area, including the planned Sørlige Nordsjø II Phase 2 development.
