90th percentile kinetic energy at the seabed due to waves in the North East Atlantic Sea, Greater North Sea and Celtic Seas

90th percentile Kinetic Energy due to waves at the seabed in the North East Atlantic Sea, Greater North Sea and Celtic Seas in N m2/s - Created for the EMODnet Seabed Habitats broad-scale habitat map (EUSeaMap 2016).

This dataset is a raster composite of the outputs of several models, created for display in the EMODnet Seabed Habitats portal.
North Sea and Celtic Seas offshore (>6km from coast): NOC ProWAM model with a resolution of 12.5 km offshore run for a period of 5 years (2000-2005);
North Sea and Celtic Seas inshore (<6km from coast): DHI MIKE21 Spectral wave model with a resolution of 100-300m run for a period of 5 years (2000-2005);
French coasts: the data is derived from the French Previmer archives for the years 2000 to 2004, at a resolution of 250m;
Bay of Biscay, inc. northern Spain and Southern Irish Sea: the data is derived from Ifremer's IOWAGA project hindcast archives (Roland and Ardhuin, 2014) using the WAVEWATCH IIIÔäó model (Tolman, 2009), run for a period of 5 years (2000-2005), the resolution is 300┬ám inshore, 3┬ákm offshore.
Iberian peninsula and Azores: WAVEWATCH IIIÔäó model (Tolman, 2009) run for 3 years with 4 km resolution
