Permanent alteration of hydrographical conditions dataset in support of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) Descriptor 7 (D07C01, 2018 Reporting)

This dataset is part of the 2018 Belgian submission for the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) linked to descriptor 7, criterion 1. This dataset describes the impact of an offshore windmills farm on the hydrodynamics in the Belgian part of the North Sea (BPNS). Originally, it is a NetCDF file with the results of the reference simulation made with the COHERENS hydrodynamic model only forced by tides (no wind effect). Model resolution : ~ 12.5m. It contains both the reference situation which is a simulation without any windmill and the modeling result of the influence by the windmills on the hydrodynamic in the BPNS. The dataset contains the results on the most inner nested grid level for one reference spring-neap cycle:

- hourly sea surface elevation

- hourly bottom shear stress

- hourly 3D horizontal velocity components (u,v)

- hourly 3D eddy viscosity

- time-averaged bottom shear stress over the reference spring-neap cycle

- percentile 90 of the bottom shear stress for the reference spring-neap cycle

- percentile 90 of the specific kinetic energy at the sea bed

- accumulated time during which sedimentation processes are dominant

- accumulated time during which re-suspension processes are dominant.

Pass: Yes

Statement: Hydrographical conditions around a wind turbine base are modeled in the COHERENS modelling system. Reference and simulation are saved as two NetCDF files and stored on an ftp server. The INSPIRE-compliant GML file describes the different variables modelled with and without the windmills in the BPNS. Out-of-Band encoding is used to point to the NetCDF files.
