Annual Statistics of 500m Kinetic Energy at the Sea Surface - Biscay-Channel

This annual statistics at 500m horizontal resolution was produced from the archived time series of MARS 3D physics model hindcast runs along French Atlantic Coast. The variable that is available here is the Kinetic Energy induced by currents caused by tide, water density gradients and action of winds. The formula used for the Kinetic Energy calculation is 0.5mv², 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 sea surface.

Abstract

This annual statistics at 500m horizontal resolution was produced from the archived time series of MARS 3D physics model hindcast runs along French Atlantic Coast. The variable that is available here is the Kinetic Energy induced by currents caused by tide, water density gradients and action of winds. The formula used for the Kinetic Energy calculation is 0.5mv², 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 sea surface.

Purpose

This annual statistics was produced in order to feed into the Sedimentological Catalog of French Coasts edited by the Cerema ("Centre d’études et d’expertise sur les risques, l’environnement, la mobilité et l’aménagement", i.e. Centre For Studies and Expertise on Risks, Environment, Mobility, and Urban and Country planning)
