Dutch Offshore Wind Atlas - time series files for 2018 at 10-600 meter height at individual 2,5 km grid location

This dataset contains an extension for 2018 of the Dutch Offshore Wind Atlas (DOWA). 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 for 2018. More information on the website: www.dutchoffshorewindatlas.nl. 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
