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 III™ model (Tolman, 2009), run for a period of 5 years (2000-2005), the resolution is 300 m inshore, 3 km offshore.

Iberian peninsula and Azores: WAVEWATCH III™ model (Tolman, 2009) run for 3 years with 4 km resolution
