Kinetic energy at the seabed due to currents - Channel, Bay of Biscay - High resolution (mean of annual 90th percentile)

90th percentile Kinetic energy due to currents at the seabed in the Channel and the Bay of Biscay - Created using the Ifremer hindcast archive MANGA500. For the purpose of EMODnet Seabed Habitat broadscale habitat map product, values were integrated over period 2010-2015. Values are averages of annual percentiles 90th. The spatial resolution of the dataset is 0.0067 decimal degrees (500m). The formula used for the Kinetic Energy calculation is 0.5mv^2, where m is the density of seawater (1027 kg.m-3) and v is the current-induced velocity. Values are expressed in N.m-2 (Newton per square meter). The vertical level is the seafloor.



Created by the EMODnet Seabed Habitats project consortium using the MANGA500 IFREMER-DYNECO Hindcast (Caillaud Matthieu, Vasquez Mickael (2016). Manche-Gascogne - 500m - Energie cin├®tique ├á la surface de l'oc├®an. https://sextant.ifremer.fr/record/357d72f4-855d-43de-8370-40ff8e4d9542/).
