Title

Kinetic energy from waves in the Greater North Sea and Celtic Seas (2000-2005) for the EMODnet Seabed Habitats project

Abstract

GeoTiff datasets of average kinetic energy per square metre at the seabed due to waves in the Greater North Sea and Celtic Seas. Numbers in the Geotiff names refer to the percentiles, e.g ke100w.tif is the maximum wave kinetic energy or the 100th percentile and it includes all values, whilst ke90w.tif contains the 90th percentile kinetic energy values obtained when the highest 10% of values are excluded. Calculated for the period 2000-2005 with a raster cell size of 300m. Units are N/m^2. The layers are built using data from National Oceanographic Centre (NOC) wave model (ProWAM at a resolution of 12.5km) offshore. A high resolution (~300m) bespoke wave model based on the DHI Spectral Wave model was used to augment the coastal areas where the ProWAM model resolution was inadequate.
