Estimated annual average wave height (metres) created by a Pelamis Wave Model for Accessible Wave Energy Resource Atlas. Wave height values are measured as lower and upper values in metres as calculated by the Pelamis wave model. Annual average wave height covers an area known as the Irish Exclusive Economic …
Marine Institute daily oceanographic model of particle transport probability at the surface, 20m and bottom of the water column in Bantry Bay and Mizen Head. Data attribute structure includes time, release location, longitude, latitude, particle hours and particle track.
A tidal atlas or a tidal stream atlas is used to predict the direction and speed of tidal currents. A tidal atlas usually consists of a set of 12 or 13 diagrams, one for each hour of the tidal cycle, for a coastal region. Each diagram uses arrows to indicate …
Sea surface temperature is collected via permanent scientific equipment on board the MI research vessel RV Lough Beltra. Data includes temperature from the hull mounted sensor known as 'Hull Sea Temperature' and temperature/salinity from the temperature sensor known as 'Windmill Sea Temperature'. Data collection from the instrumentation is on a …
CTD or Conductivity Temperature Depth stations measure temperature, conductivity and depth of the water column at various depths from the surface to within 10m of the seafloor. A CTD is the oceanographic instrument used to determine the conductivity, temperature, and depth of the ocean. The CTD may be incorporated into …
45 stations including CTD, CTD-SAPS and ROV, taken on board RV Celtic Explorer cruise CE14009 in June 2014 during the Ecosystem functioning and biodiversity at Whittard Canyon Survey. A large instrument package called a CTD is the standard workhorse of oceanographers for acquiring water column profiles. It is called a …
65 stations including CTD, Ringnet (500um), Zooplankton net (200&50um), Phytoplankton net, Trawl and XBT taken on board two RV Celtic Explorer cruise CE14006 in April 2014 during the Transatlantic Added Value Survey. A large instrument package called a CTD is the standard workhorse of oceanographers for acquiring water column profiles. …
Waverider buoys have collected observations and measurements on wave characteristics including wave height and period statistics. Waverider buoys are located in the Galway Bay 1/4 Scale Test Site and the Full Scale Atlantic Marine Energy Test Site (AMETS) located off the Erris Peninsula near Belullet. Waveriders first deployed in 2006 …
147 stations including CTD, Zooplankton Net, XBT, Multinet, Argo Float, ADCP and Trawl taken on board RV Celtic Explorer cruise in April-May 2015 during the Biodiscovery and deep ocean ecosystems survey. A large instrument package called a CTD is the standard workhorse of oceanographers for acquiring water column profiles. It …
