Dunkirk offshore wind farm — Study of swell conditions on the study area

The study of swell in the Dunkirk EMR study area corresponds to the modelling and study of sea states in the area. Following the implementation and validation of the sea state model in the period 2005-2016, a statistical and spatial analysis is presented. The model results files are provided. The final report “Modelisation and Study of Sea State in the Dunkirk MMR Area” (6 April 2017) describes the sea state play using the WAVEWATCH III Spectral Spectral Model over the period 2005-2016. In-depth validation was conducted by comparison with measurements by altimeter satellites, observations collected by CANDHIS (CEREMA) wave buoys, and wave buoys deployed on the study area. Model results are presented in NetCDF4 format. The final report is in pdf format. Data available: Results of the DUNK (DUNK_20m folder) in the form of monthly files in NetCDF4 format for each replayed event (ww3.AAAAMMJJ.nc, YYYY corresponds to the year, MM at month and DD at day) DUNK: 5 replayed events (10/10/2013, 23/03/2013, 24/12/2013, 18/01/2007, 5/03/2012) Data available on request from SHOM (due to their volumetrics): Model output files in NetCDF4 format: MANGAS model results (MANGAS_200m folder) in the form of monthly files in NetCDF4 format for the entire period 2005-2016 (2 monthly files ww3.XXXXXXXXXX_AAAAMM_spec.nc and ww3.XXXXXXXXXX_AAAAMM_tab.nc for each calculation node; Ayyy corresponds to the year and MM to the month) MANGAS: 2005 to 2016
