Short summary
In this study, the quality of 10 and 100 m wind speeds from three different reanalyses (global and regional) are evaluated along the different coasts of France. The evaluation show that Copernicus Regional Reanalysis for Europe (CERRA) has a high skill for surface wind speed on the three French seafronts, as well as for offshore wind speed at 100 m. Thus, CERRA appears to be the optimal reanalysis to use as a reference for offshore wind studies over the French maritime zone.
