EUSeaMap2 (2016) Broad-Scale Predictive Habitat Map - Energy class (Arctic, Atlantic, Baltic)
Description
Energy class layer produced by EMODnet Seabed Habitats as an input layer for the 2016 EUSeaMap broad-scale habitat model. The extent of the mapped area includes the Baltic Sea, and areas of the North Eastern Atlantic and Arctic extending from the Canary Islands in the south to Norway in the North. The map of energy classes was produced using underlying wave and current data and thresholds derived from statistical analyses or expert judgement on known conditions.
Detailed information on the modelling process is found in the EMODnet Seabed Habitats technical report and its appendices (Populus et al, 2017, link in Resources).
