FIG. 8.23 Principal locations in Orkney and surrounding waters. The dashed box shows the
boundaries of the high-resolution nested model, and tide gauge stations used for model validation
(labelled) are shown as crosses. Numbered circles are locations where time series are presented in
the ‘Results’ section. Inset shows the location of Orkney in relation to the British Isles. (Adapted
from S.P. Neill, M.R. Hashemi, M.J. Lewis, The role of tidal asymmetry in characterizing the tidal
energy resource of Orkney, Renew. Energy 68 (2014) 337–350, which also includes details of model
validation.)
