Variable General Info
Wind direction ?Comment:Required. Data on wind speed and direction, which is used to compute the Wind Exposure and Wave Exposure variables, comes from the Wave Watch III dataset and is provided in the sample data that comes with the InVEST installation. The spatial coverage of this dataset is what limits the Coastal Vulnerability model to applications within latitudes -65 degrees south and 77 degrees north. However, it is possible for a user to substitute their own wind speed and direction data, instead of relying the Wave Watch III dataset. |
