Full Combined Model Map

The full combined model represents the integration of all selected submodels using their specified weights. The final combination is calculated using the weighted geometric mean of the submodel scores to produce a unified assessment across all selected domains. Scores are distributed along a 0 to 1 scale. Values closer to 0 indicate a less suitable grid cell for offshore wind energy and values closer to 1 indicate a cell that is more suitable for offshore wind energy.

Full Model Data Points: 169
Final Combination Method: Weighted Geometric Mean of Submodel Scores
Value Range: 0.054 to 0.964
