Metadata: The Scottish Shelf Model 1990 – 2014 climatology – reduced precision output from version 2.01
Abstract:
Marine Scotland is the custodian of a hydrodynamic model of Scottish continental shelf waters, the Scottish Shelf Model (SSM). The wider Scottish Shelf model (SSM) domain covers the Scottish continental shelf at relatively high resolution (up to 1 km node spacing at the coastline) but also covers most of UK waters, the North Sea and the English Channel. The domain extends in longitude from approximately 13° W to 13° E, including the Baltic Sea. The Wider SSM version 2.01 is a full year climatological run, which represents average conditions for 1990-2014 with a 1993 tidal component. These data are a reduced precision dataset containing only water elevations and depth average horizontal water velocities on the unstructured grid at hourly temporal resolution.

| 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. | The Scottish Shelf Model 1990 – 2014 climatology – reduced precision output from version 2.01 |
| 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. | Marine_Scotland_FishDAC_12122 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | Marine_Scotland_FishDAC_12122 |
| 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 | 2016-06-06 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2018-08-17 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | 1000.00 |
| Spatial resolution unit | This describes the unit of spatial resolution which for distance must be metres. | http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/ISO_19139_Schemas/resources/uom/gmxUom.xml#m |
| 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'. | Unknown |
| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | Marine Scotland is the custodian of a hydrodynamic model of Scottish continental shelf waters, the Scottish Shelf Model (SSM).

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The SSM is an implementation of the Finite Volume Community Ocean Model (FVCOM). FVCOM was developed by the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth, USA, by Chen et al. (2003) and is still actively being developed. The model forcing is made up of the following: (1) Atlantic Margin Model 7 km boundary conditions (1990-2014) (Edwards et al. 2012, O’Dea 2012); (2) ERA-interim atmospheric forcing (1990-2014) (Dee et al, 2011); (3) Grid 2 Grid freshwater input (1962-2011) obtained from the Centre of Ecology (CEH) (Bell et al. 2007, Cole and Moore 2009). For a full description see De Dominicis et al. (2017). |
