Metadata: 2010, Subacoustech Ltd., Measurements of Underwater Noise Generated by Acoustic Mitigation Devices
Abstract:
Data on the numbers and distribution of waterbirds are required for the Strategic Environmental Assessments of Offshore Wind Farms (OWF). From February to April 2009, aerial surveys of waterbirds and seabirds were conducted off the Norfolk coast, UK, within the proposed boundary for Zone 5 of the Round 3 Development areas (Crown Estate 2008). The Zone 5 area was divided into seven roughly equal-sized survey blocks to allow maximum coverage within each survey day. Where possible adjacent blocks were surveyed synchronously, minimizing the likelihood of double-counting due to local movements of birds between survey days. Surveys used a standard methodology that allows collection of data suitable for distance analysis, as well as accurate plotting of locations of individual observations. The report in this series identifies that the area covered by the seven survey blocks supports a diverse range of waterbirds, including high numbers of Red-throated Divers. The combined area was shown to support over 3% of Britain’s wintering Red-throated Diver population (see O’Brien et al. 2008), and within this a relatively small area corresponding to two survey blocks to the east of Lowestoft, Norfolk, supports over 2%.

| 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. | 2010, Subacoustech Ltd., Measurements of Underwater Noise Generated by Acoustic Mitigation Devices |
| 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. | 011ccca2-a749-4c34-9ad3-97dfa4f57036 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 3225 |
| 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. | series |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2010-03-03 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2010-03-11 |
| 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 |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The aim of this study is to provide a set of high quality, reliable underwater noise recordings of the emissions from a selection of commercially available AMDs which specify their behaviour in fundamental acoustic quantities. The report also analyses and presents this data so as to allow users of AMD systems to assess which device is best suited to their specific needs. |
