appdata-wg-marine:tidal_current_speed_m2
<p>Tidal constituents are mathemical elements representing the multiple influences impacting tidal changes over certain periods of time. The largest constituent is the "principal lunar semi-diurnal", also known as the M2 (or M2) tidal constituent. This constituent represents the rotation of the Earth with respect to the Moon, with a period of 12.42 hours. M2 current speed is considered to be indicative of the mean tidal current speed.</p>
<p>SEACAMS have applied the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) to the Irish Sea, as described in Ward, S, Robins, P, Lewis, M, Iglesias, G, Hashemi, MR & Neill, S 2018, 'Tidal stream resource characterisation in progressive versus standing wave systems' Applied Energy, vol 220, pp. 274-285. DOI: 10.1016/j.apenergy.2018.03.059. SEACAMS have provided Welsh Government with model output for M2 current speed, gridded to a resolution of approximately 550m.</p>
