This section allows users to download the various deliverables produced during the project, this includes the Tidal Phasing Tool, Scottish Ports-Tidal Times and Heights and the GIS Shapelayer Files.
Tidal Phasing Tool
The tidal phasing tool can be used to investigate the viablilty of phasing a range of tidal sites across a number of tidal areas in Scotland. The tool was created using Microsoft Excel 2007 and is populated with tidal velocity data from Tidal Admiralty Charts and the Proudman Oceanographic Institute (POL).

GIS Shapelayer Files
These GIS Shapelayer files were created using Quantum GIS but should work on all GIS software programmes provided they are compatible with files with a .shp extention. There is a number of files that show Scotlands tidal resource as well as the impact of technical and policy constraints on the resource. In order to download these please right click the link and save link as
