Metadata: Docking Shoal Offshore Wind Farm and Wash Cable Route Corridor: Geophysical Data Audit and Review
Abstract:
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by AMEC Wind Energy and Renewable Energy Systems Limited, on behalf of Centrica Renewable Energy Limited to undertake an audit and review of the geophysical data collected from the Docking Shoal and Race Bank Offshore Wind Farm and the associated cable route corridor in the Wash (totaling approximately 364.73 square kilometres. The geophysical data consists of multibeam bathymetry, sidescan sonar, magnetic and single beam shallow seismic data for each area. This report describes the methodologies used to review each data type and the results of the audit of data from the Docking Shoal Offshore Wind Farm and the Wash Cable Route Corridor. Although there was some variability in quality, all datasets received were of adequate quality for full archaeological processing and interpretation. It is recommended that all sidescan sonar, multibeam bathymetry and magnetic data collected in the Docking Shoal Wind Farm area and a 500m buffer zone around the area are subjected to full geophysical analysis. For the seismic data it is recommended that only every fifth line (20%) needs to be processed. For the Wash Cable Route Corridor it is recommended that data within the area occupied by the cables and a 500m buffer zone on either side of the corridor are subjected to geophysical analysis. It is recommended that all the sonar, multibeam bathymetry and magnetic data and 20% of the seismic data within this area should be processed.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 11283 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | Docking Shoal Offshore Wind Farm and Wash Cable Route Corridor: Geophysical Data Audit and Review |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 19d61361-dc06-3447-bb46-a76484d4ab16 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | wessexar1-385668 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2006-02-15 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2006-08-31 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | notPlanned |
