Variable General Info
Wave height (oceanic waves) ?Comment:As a part of the InVEST download package, a shapefile with default wind and wave data compiled from 8 years of WAVEWATCH III (WW3, Tolman (2009)) model hindcast reanalysis results is provided. For each of the 16 equiangular wind sector, the average of the highest 10% wind speed, wave height and wave power have been computed. If users wish to use another data source, InVEST recommends that they use the same statistics of wind and wave (average of the highest 10% for wind speed, wave height and wave power), but they can use other statistics as well. However, these data must be contained in a point shapefile with the same attribute table as the WW3 data provided. |
