ERA5 replaces its predecessor, the ERA-Interim reanalysis. Reanalysis combines model data with observations from across the world into a globally complete and consistent dataset.

The yield determines the total amount of heat energy available. This also applies to the volume taken from a spring each day. The volume of groundwater that can be abstracted from a borehole is known as the ‘yield’. Open loop ground source heat systems operate by taking heat energy from abstracted groundwater using a heat pump. This layer shows the suitability of this technology in any given area in the country. The pipes can be installed in borehole(s) (vertical closed loop) or laid out horizontally (horizontal closed loop). This happens by pumping a heat exchange fluid through closed pipes within the ground. The maps represent two dimensional slices through the crust at depths of 2 km, 2.5 km, 3 km, 3.5 km, 4 km and 5 km GSI Vertical Closed Loop SuitabilityĬlosed loop collectors are systems where heat is extracted from the ground, or cooling is gained.

Six maps were produced using temperature data provided by the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (J.

The maps will be available to view on the Geothermal Atlas and on Geological Survey Ireland’s online viewer in 2023.

The Groundwater & Geothermal Unit in Geological Survey Ireland has produced a new suite of deep temperature maps for onshore Ireland. This short document is designed to present the maps and their metadata (describing how and why the maps were made) to the public.
