Metadata: 2018, APEM, Race Bank, Year 1 Ornithological Report
Abstract:
High-resolution aerial digital surveys were undertaken of the Race Bank offshore wind farm and wider area. Two surveys per month were undertaken from April to August 2018 to collect a continuous strip of digital still imagery at 2 cm resolution which covered approximately 20% of the survey area. The purpose of the surveys was to collect information on the abundance, distribution, and flight height of Sandwich terns in order to meet the post-construction monitoring objectives as detailed in the Race Bank Ornithological Monitoring Plan (OMP).

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 18958 |
| 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. | 2018, APEM, Race Bank, Year 1 Ornithological Report |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Year 1 Ornithological Report |
| 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. | 064a5e26-7b41-4a0f-ba99-6315cbc1a86e |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-3545 |
| 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 | 2018-04-21 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2018-08-16 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | 1 |
| Spatial resolution unit | This describes the unit of spatial resolution which for distance must be metres. | urn:ogc:def:uom:EPSG::9001 |
| 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 |
| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | High-resolution aerial digital surveys were undertaken of the Race Bank offshore wind farm and wider area. Two surveys per month were undertaken from April to August 2018 to collect a continuous strip of digital still imagery at 2 cm resolution which covered approximately 20% of the survey area. The purpose of the surveys was to collect information on the abundance, distribution, and flight height of Sandwich terns in order to meet the post-construction monitoring objectives as detailed in the Race Bank Ornithological Monitoring Plan (OMP). |
| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | A standard internal Quality Assurance (QA) procedure was carried out for each survey. Images were assessed in batches with a different staff member responsible for each batch. Each bird image was reviewed and checked by APEM’s own dedicated QA manager, ensuring that 100% of birds found in the images were subject to internal QA. The QA manager, an experienced ornithologist, is responsible for maintaining and updating the image library and also provides advice and guidance to the image processing staff. Images containing no birds were removed and kept separately for further QA. Of these ‘blank’ images, 20% were randomly selected for QA by the QA manager. |
