description: This paper is the result of research whose main objective is to analyse different methods used for the  prediction of maximum scour depth and scour extension, and for the design of scour protections in  offshore wind farms located in shallow water, using medium and large diameter monopile foundations.  Physical agents such as waves, currents and wind play a major role in the design of structures like offshore  farms. As a result, the study has highlighted the need for introducing experience backed climate  monomials such as the dimensionless wave height parameter (H0) and proposes the use of formulations  that can express the extent of scour protections as a function of waves in transitional waters.
