Title: MSDF 2017 cycle. Windmills impact on hydrodynamics. Reference 2D fields

Summary:
This dataset is part of the MSFD D7 2017 cycle. It aims at assessing the impact of the windmills on the hydrodynamical conditions and hydrodynamical climate in their neighbourhood. The impact is measured by comparing a domain with and without the presence of windmills. This particular dataset gathers the 2D fields of the reference (no windmills) simulation.
