World Offshore Macro Algae Production Potential (WOMAPP) netcdf output data

This set of two zip files contains netcdf output files simulated with the WOMAPP model published as:

van Oort, P.A.J., Verhagen, A., van der Werf, A.K., 2023. Can seaweeds feed the world? Modelling world offshore seaweed production potential. Ecological modelling

The two zip files contain model output for optimistic and pessimistic scenarios, referring to literature based data on seaweed nutrient requirements:

in the optimistic scenario:

cold temperature seaweed species group is NOT sensitive to high waves

intermediate temperatures and warm temperature seaweed species groups: lower nutrient requirements

in the pessimistic scenario:

cold temperature seaweed species group is sensitive to high waves

intermediate temperatures and warm temperature seaweed species groups: higher nutrient requirements

Within each zip file, the following netcdf files can be found:

WorldEEZY_MonthSuitabilityAll_Cold.nc

Netcdf file for the world, for the cold temperature seaweed species group. Showing 7 simulated biophysical suitabilities (for all 6 environmental variables & overall suitability; range 0.0-1.0), for 12 months. Suitabilities outside the EEZ are all shown as zero (0.0). No data is shown as zero, which in some coastal spots looks a bit odd. When zooming in and finding a pixel with value zero close to the coast and with neighbouring pixels looking very suitable, then that pixel is probably a NO DATA pixel. Our apologies for this.

WorldEEZY_MonthSuitabilityAll_Intermediate.nc

Netcdf file for the world, for the intermediate temperature seaweed species group. Showing 7 simulated biophysical suitabilities (for all 6 environmental variables & overall suitability; range 0.0-1.0), for 12 months. Suitabilities outside the EEZ are all shown as zero (0.0). No data is shown as zero, which in some coastal spots looks a bit odd. When zooming in and finding a pixel with value zero close to the coast and with neighbouring pixels looking very suitable, then that pixel is probably a NO DATA pixel. Our apologies for this.

WorldEEZY_MonthSuitabilityAll_Warm.nc

Netcdf file for the world, for the warm temperature seaweed species group. Showing 7 simulated biophysical suitabilities (for all 6 environmental variables & overall suitability; range 0.0-1.0), for 12 months. Suitabilities outside the EEZ are all shown as zero (0.0). No data is shown as zero, which in some coastal spots looks a bit odd.

WorldEEZY_MonthSuitabilityGt_Cold.nc

Netcdf file for the world, for the cold temperature seaweed species group. Showing simulated number of suitable months (range 0-12) at 4 thresholds for overall suitability thresholds (0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8). Outside the EEZ number of suitable months is set to zero (0). No data is shown as zero, which in some coastal spots looks a bit odd. When zooming in and finding a pixel with value zero close to the coast and with neighbouring pixels looking very suitable, then that pixel is probably a NO DATA pixel. Our apologies for this.

Showing simulated number of suitable months (range 0-12) at 4 thresholds for overall suitability thresholds (0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8). Outside the EEZ number of suitable months is set to zero (0). No data is shown as zero, which in some coastal spots looks a bit odd.
