BLACKSEA_CH01_Product_01 / A high resolution wind-wave-tides database for the Black Sea area

One of the main objectives of the Work Package 2 (Windfarm Siting) is the determination of the suitability of sites for wind farm development in specific predefined Black Sea areas.

Towards this direction a high resolution database has been developed, based on the outcomes of the FP7 MARINA Platform project (http://forecast.uoa.gr/proj_marina.php). The data base covers a time period of 10 years (2001 – 2010) containing hourly data and covering a wide range of atmospheric, wave and tidal information
