Abstract: In this work, we develop a high-resolution oceanographic database, suitable for marine renewable energy (MRE) applications. We apply downscaling techniques, using ROMS numerical model, to generate a 29-year (1985–2013), high-resolution (325 m), hourly sea level and currents (10 vertical levels) hindcast that reproduces storm surge and astronomical tide dynamics at a MRE test site (BiMEP) in the Bay of Biscay.
