Two technical notes were prepared in 1998, which describe the very first evaluation of the concept that led to the current version of the BOUSSOLE buoy:

Tech note #1 (By ACRI-IN, Pierre Guevel)

Tech note #2 (By ACRI-IN, Pierre Guevel)

Two additional engineering studies were subsequently performed in December 2002:

Study #1 (by IFREMER)

Study #2 (by MARINTEK)
