However, proof should be provided that hindcast model results are highly reliable, in order to provide an equivalent assessment. Very high resolution models is also the key issue in decision making for a proper siting that is relaying on the consistency of all datasets provided in the assessment. In this tender the products of the FP7 MARINA project will be used. 10-year (2001-2010) highresolution atmospheric, wave, tidal and ocean current simulations will be used. The model outputs are at high resolution (0.05x0.05 degree horizontal resolution, 1-hour time resolution, 5-vertical levels at 10,40,80,120,180 m). The wave parameters are co-located with the meteorological output fields. Satellite altimetry data from ENVISAT and JASON satellites have been assimilated in the system. Other wind and wave satellite data sets will be also analyzed (Synthetic Aperture Radars-SAR for example). At the same co-located points the tidal and ocean current data together with bathymetry are available. For preselected points in the North Western Mediterranean (Spain-France-ltaly areas) directional wave spectra data have been saved and are available. From SKIRON meteorological model available parameters are: WIND SPEED (m/s), WIND DIRECTION (deg), AIR PRESSURE (hPa), AIR DENSITY (Kgr/m3), TEMPERATURE (K), MODEL SEAMASK From the wave model available parameters: SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT (m), MEAN WAVE DIRECTION (deg), WAVE MEAN PERIOD (s), PEAK WAVE PRERIOD (s), SWELL WAVE HEIGHT (m), MEAN SWELL PERIOD (s), MEAN DIRECTIONAL SPREAD, WINDSEA MEAN DIRECTIONAL SPREAD, SWELL MEAN DIRECTIONAL SPREAD, MAXIMUM WAVE HEIGHT (m) Support the evaluation of the suitability of sites for wind farm development in particular: o on border between Spanish and French waters o on border between French and Italian waters University of Athens ggalanis@mg.uoa.gr pointOfContact MedSea - CH01 - Windfarm Siting Used by challenges 2015-11-26 publication geonetwork.thesaurus.local.theme.emodnet-checkpoint.challenges Forecast/Hindcast Processing level of characteristics 2014-08-11 publication geonetwork.thesaurus.local.theme.emodnet-checkpoint.level.of.characteristics Delayed Production mode 2014-08-11 publication geonetwork.thesaurus.local.theme.emodnet-checkpoint.production.mode Atmospheric conditions GEMET - INSPIRE themes, version 1.0 2009-09-22 publication geonetwork.thesaurus.external.theme.httpinspireeceuropaeutheme-theme grid utf8 oceans 2 10.5 41 44.5 2001-01-01T00:00:00 2010-12-31T23:00:00 -186 0 Ascii 2 10.5 41 44.5 2001-01-01T00:00:00 2010-12-31 -180 0 MEDSEA_CH1_Product_1 10 year high spatial and temporal resolution wind wave hindcast data Air|Wind speed and direction|Eastward wind velocity in the atmosphere|Forecast/Hindcast|Delayed Air|Wind strength and direction|Northward wind velocity in the atmosphere|Forecast/Hindcast|Delayed Air|Air pressure|Pressure (measured variable) exerted by the atmosphere|Forecast/Hindcast|Delayed Marine water|Wave height and period statistics||Forecast/Hindcast|Delayed Horizontal Spatial Coverage AP.1.1 Horizontal coverage extent of product (eg : surface of the Mediterranean Sea) Real km**2 257526.36 Vertical Spatial Coverage AP.1.2 Vertical coverage extent of product Real meters 180 Temporal Coverage AP.1.3 Temporal coverage extent of product Integer days 3652 Number of Characteristics AP.2.1 Number of characteristics in product Integer 4 Horizontal resolution AP.3.1 Horizontal mesh size or equivalent value for the given scale of product (eg 50m for 1/50 000) Integer meters 5000 Vertical resolution AP.3.2 Average vertical sampling Real meters 40 2016-11-21T00:00:00 0, 10, 40, 80, 120, 180 Temporal resolution AP.3.3 Temporal sampling interval of product Real days 0.042 Thematic accuracy AP.3.4 Percentage error of the product and description of error concept for the product (100 words max) provided by expert Percentage % 10 Temporal validity AP.4.1 Max elapsed time between last input data records update and product creation date Integer days 1095
