PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
DATASET DESCRIPTION
The Wave Energy Resource Assessment Report is based on data from the CMEMS Global Ocean Waves Multi-Year Product, provided by the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS). This dataset is a state-of-the-art resource for understanding wave dynamics and assessing wave energy potential.
- Origin: The dataset is produced using advanced numerical wave models and assimilates observational data from satellites to ensure high accuracy and reliability.
- Time Resolution: 3-hourly data.
- Temporal Coverage: Continuous records from 1980 with a three‑month data‑availability lag.
- Spatial Resolution: 0.2° (~22 km), offering sufficient spatial detail for regional and global assessments.
- Coverage: Global coverage, including coastal and open ocean regions, ensuring applicability across diverse marine environments.
- Methodology: The dataset is generated using the Meteo France Wave Model (MFWAM), which simulates wave dynamics based on wind forcing from the IFS-ECMWF atmospheric system, and takes into account oceanic currents from the GLORYS12 physical ocean reanalysis. It assimilates altimetry and directional wave spectra from satellites.
This dataset is widely recognized for its reliability and is used in scientific research, marine operations, and renewable energy assessments.
METHODOLOGY
1. Data Extraction:
- The report uses the CMEMS dataset to extract 3-hourly wave data for the specified location and time range.
2. Data Processing:
- Wave direction is expressed in degrees in meteorological convention (the direction from which the wave is coming).
- The site’s energy density is calculated in kW/m.
- Statistical analyses are performed to compute monthly, quarterly, and seasonal averages and standard deviations of energy potential.
3. Visualization:
- Graphs and visualizations are generated, including:
- Wave Direction Rose: A polar plot showing the frequency distribution of wave directions.
- Monthly, Quarterly, and Seasonal Trends: Bar charts illustrating variations in energy density.
- Duration Curves: Graphs showing the percentage of time a specific energy density is exceeded.
- Histograms: Distributions of energy densities derived from the current data.
4. Report Generation:
- The processed data and visualizations are compiled into a comprehensive PDF report, along with a CSV file containing the raw data for further analysis.
- You will receive an email with a download link a few minutes after placing your order (contact us if you prefer a different delivery method).
USE CASES
1. Renewable Energy Development:
- Assess the potential for wave energy generation at specific locations.
- Identify high-energy sites for deploying wave energy converters (contact us for area maps).
- Compare locations.
2. Marine Operations:
- Plan and optimize shipping routes based on wave conditions (contact us for analysis at multiple locations or area maps).
- Model and optimise fuel use for carbon compliance in shipping (contact us for multiple points with time stamps analysis).
- Ensure safe and efficient offshore operations (contact us for a 10-day forecast product).
3. Environmental Studies:
- Understand the role of waves in sediment transport and coastal erosion (contact us if you need additional variables for your study).
- Study the impact of wave dynamics on marine ecosystems.
4. Coastal and Offshore Engineering:
- Design and evaluate coastal and offshore structures (contact us if you need additional variables for your study).
WHY CHOOSE THIS REPORT?
- High-Resolution Data: 3-hourly temporal resolution and ~22 km spatial resolution ensure detailed insights.
- Global Coverage: Applicable to any location worldwide, from coastal areas to open oceans.
