These shapefiles represents seasonal (summer, winter, annual) average delta T estimates. Delta T represents the difference in temperature (degrees C) between the warm and cold water sources used by an OTEC plant at a specific location. Warm water is defined uniformly as water at a depth of 20 m, while cold water is defined for each point by locating the depth that leads to the greatest annual net power when each depth and delta T along the thermocline are input into the power equation. This optimization balances power gained by obtaining colder water from deeper locations against power lost by transporting the water upward through a longer pipe.
