Category:Bathymetry Models

Topography Image with Bathymetry Overlay. The image shows 3 offhsore wind farms off the coast of the Netherlands along with EMODnet bathymetry data.

Bathymetry data in windPRO are mainly based on open internet resources.

Considerations

When using bathymetry models based on regional or global sources, you must manually consider the accuracy of the dataset used - and if the accuracy is feasible for the intended use (such as a pre-feasibility study or an final layout). This is especially important in the vicinity of the wind farm and other associated objects, where the downloaded digital data should be validated against recent local data-sources, such a nautical maps or in-situ surveys.
