This data layer gives values of summed wave fetch in 32 angular sectors around focal cells, using a model modified from that given in Burrows et al (2012 - see reference). Wave fetch is the distance to the nearest land in a defined direction. The model performs a three-scale search for land around each cell in the model, sparsely (every 10km) up to 200km, every 1km up to 20km away, and every 100m up to 1km distant.

Values represent the log base 10 of the summed distance to the nearest land (as the number of 200m grid cell units) across all 32 11.5° sectors. The file is a GeoTIFF using the Ordnance Survey projection.
