Description:

  • summary: Maps of vertically-averaged current parameters relevant for marine energy applications from the shore to 50 km offshore, with a resolution ranging between 9 km offshore to 200 m near the coast and shallow areas. The regional extension of the data included in the file covers the zone Atlantic, Channel and North Sea. No information on the current is available for the Mediterranean Sea.
  • history: All the information comes from the processing of Homere database (Boudière et al. 2013) delivered by Ifremer (Institut Français de Recherche pour l'Exploitation de la Mer/French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea). Homere is a 19-year (1994-2012) sea-state hindcast (Boudière et al. 2013) with hourly outputs and spatial resolution ranging from 9 km offshore to about 200 m near the coast and shallow areas. This database was identified by Dubranna et al. 2015 as the most appropriate for the production of MRE resource information along the western coast of France at relevant time and spatial scales.
