Abstract

The Dutch Offshore Wind Atlas (DOWA) is validated wind climatology (and information on temperature, pressure and relative humidity) based on 10 years (2008-2017) of model data: weather model HARMONIE-AROME is nested in re-analyses ERA5. In this data set time series for individual grid locations are available. Note: the proj4 string in the NetCDF file is incorrect. It should be: +proj=lcc +lat_1=52.500000 +lat_2=52.500000 +lat_0=52.500000 +lon_0=.000000 +k_0=1.0 +x_0=-92963.487426 +y_0=230383.739533 +a=6371220.000000 +b=6371220.000000
