Data
Data is the basis for research and resulting knowledge. The Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon collects, calculates and prepares data of various kinds both for its own research work and in terms of knowledge transfer for transfer to third parties. These include physical, chemical and biological parameters such as e.g. temperature, salinity, waves, water levels, current, wind, nutrients and pollutants, pH, chlorophyll and algae. The data results from real-time in-situ measurements, automated measurement systems, collections, complex datasets and model calculations.
CoastDat grants users and interested parties access to this data.

coastDat is based on the use of near-realistic numerical model systems to describe the meteo-marine environment in regions with sparse data. Using a series of numerical models, long-term, consistent, and homogeneous, high-resolution spatial and temporal data has been generated to reconstruct marine climate aspects (storms, waves, etc.) over many decades in the past and in the future.
The approach of coastDat is to use quasi-realistic numerical model systems to describe the meteo-marine environment in data sparse regions.
