Layout of Maps
Each resource has a dedicated Atlas webGIS map selectable from the main menu under ‘Maps’, which allows the user to view the key resource data layers with supporting baseline reference layers. Please note the tide resource map loads slower than wind and wave, because of the larger density of grid cells (nearly 200,000 cells compared to less than 6000 cells for wind and wave). Each layer’s symbology has been constructed to maintain consistency with the pre-prepared pdf Atlas maps. Several layers are available to view on the different map pages as summarised in the following table.
| Data layer group | Individual layer name |
|---|---|
| Baseline (Available on each resource map) |
|
| Annual Mean Wave |
|
| Mean Tide |
|
| Annual Mean Wind (100m) |

The webGIS maps all have a standard layout and the following diagram highlights the different parts of the application that the user may interact with. More information can be found in the section on getting started.
