Mean Offshore Wind Speed 2003 - height 100m above mean sea levelEnergyMean average offshore wind speeds in metres per second (m/s) at 100m above sea level. The wind speed data, modelled in 2003, covers the Irish Internal Waters and the Irish Territorial Sea up to 12 nautical miles from the baseline. The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland...

A borehole is any hole drilled or dug into the ground. The hole is usually deep, narrow and round. The material (soil and or rock) from the hole is collected and tested in a laboratory to find out the structure and type of the soil and or rock beneath the ground. A borehole...

ScienceGroundwater is the water that soaks into the ground from rain and can be stored beneath the ground. Groundwater floods occur when the water stored beneath the ground rises above the land surface. The Groundwater Flooding Medium Probability map shows the expected flood extent...

Bedrock is the solid rock at or below the land surface. Over much of Ireland, the bedrock is covered by materials such as soil and gravel. The Bedrock map shows what the land surface of the North East, Midlands, Cork and Dublin would be made up of if these materials were...

Karst is a landscape with distinctive landforms that develop on rock types that are readily dissolved by water. In Ireland, karstification mostly occurs in limestone regions. This karst dataset contains mapped karst landforms in Ireland including: boreholes, caves, dry...

The groundwater vulnerability concept is based largely on the question “can water and contaminants move in the subsurface materials (soil and subsoil) and/get down to groundwater easily?” Groundwater is most at risk where the subsoils are absent or thin and in areas of karstic...
