Wind Resource Density.
Usable power density (in W/m2) of wind speeds in the Baltic Sea based on numerical simulated data from coastDat1. Usable power density implies the wind power available based on the wind speed distribution (Ingmarsson P., Hüffmeier J., 2019).
The usable power input is calculated according to the standard methods used for wind atlases) (Ingmarsson P., Hüffmeier J., 2019).
1"coastDat is a model-based data bank developed mainly for the assessment of long-term changes in data sparse regions. A sequence of numerical models is employed to reconstruct all aspects of marine climate (such as storms, waves, surges etc.) over many decades of years relying only on large-scale information such as large-scale atmospheric conditions."

Reclassified values into qualitative classes from "Very Low" to "Very High". Reprojected the geodata layer to Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area (EPSG:3035).
The Wind Density layer in the Western Baltic Sea Edition remains consistent with that featured in the Baltic Sea edition.
