Near-seabed current velocity in the Caspian Sea

Surface Currents

4-year average near-seabed current velocity (values in m.s-1) in the Caspian Sea, produced as part of EMODnet Seabed Habitats as an input layer for the EUSeaMap 2023 broad-scale habitat model. It was produced using the following archive, which provides model simulation results for temperature, salinity and currents: https://www7320.nrlssc.navy.mil/caspian/
