European Geosciences Union General Assembly: EGU 26
Dissemination of results generated under WP2.1 (Ocean Energy Characterisation and Mapping), including a high‑resolution wave database covering the European Atlantic coast. The presentation also contributed to raising awareness of AWESDI and promoting stakeholder participation in project consultations.
Key topics
- Wave energy resource assessment
- High‑resolution datasets
- Climate scenarios
- Ocean energy characterisation
- Atlantic Area mapping
An oral presentation was given on a high-resolution wave database covering the entire Atlantic Arc at the European Geosciences Union Assembly 2026 (EGU26). This dataset consists of two types of products:
- The first one comprises integrated wave parameters (significant wave height, peak period, peak direction, mean wave direction, among others) on a regular 1/8-degree grid.
- The second product consists of two-dimensional spectral energy density matrices for 25 frequencies and 26 directions at 1,031 points distributed along the European Atlantic coast, spaced 10 km apart and located 50 km offshore.
Target audiences
Researchers, higher education institutions, scientific and technical experts, marine renewable energy stakeholders, research infrastructures and R&I initiatives.
Researchers, higher education institutions, scientific and technical experts, marine renewable energy stakeholders, research infrastructures and R&I initiatives.
It was a great success with 20,173 presentations given in 1,014 sessions. Thereby, 58% of the abstracts were identified as contributions from Early Career Scientists (ECS).
