Hi @mvitelletti , some of these details were discussed in this thread, in particular the difference between REI\_VX and V10PCT\_X: [InVEST Coastal Vulnerability toolbox - How to use personalized wave and wind data? - #8 by Thodoris](https://community.naturalcapitalalliance.org/t/invest-coastal-vulnerability-toolbox-how-to-use-personalized-wave-and-wind-data/777/8)

“V” is for “velocity”. “PCT” is for “percentage”, also referred to as “proportion” in the User Guide Appendix B.

All of the columns listed in that Appendix B are required by the InVEST model. Please let us know if you have further questions. Or maybe @Thodoris even has some methods to share, since they were also building this dataset for the Mediterranean?
