Vessel Performance Using Wave Data #217

Closed gecoombs closed 11 months ago

gecoombs commented 1 year ago

Now we have dataloaders for wave data (#161) we should start to use this information to influence our routing via the vessel performance models. Initially I'll look at excluding areas based on a maximum value of wave height but in time we should investigate how to vary the speed and fuel consumption of the vessel according to the sea state.

Here is a first example with ERA5 wave data from 2017 for the SDA travelling from Rothera to Punta Arenas while avoiding areas of over 3m wave height (in brown): Screenshot from 2023-08-09 13-26-19

Closing this as complete based on the work implemented in #226. We can open a new issue for future work on wave based speed/fuel models.
