Metadata: 2014-2015, Applied Renewables Research, Fair Head, ADCP Campaign
Abstract:
Two sea-bed mount ADCP surveys were undertaken by Applied Renewables Research Ltd (ARR Ltd) within the tidal stream off Fairhead in Northern Ireland. The current and wave measurements were undertaken at different locations using identical Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) deployed in dedicated seabed frames. The instruments were deployed on 23rd April 2014 and recovered on the 6th June 2014 for Survey 1 and deployed on the 16th December and recovered on 14th March 2015 for Survey 2.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 18998 |
| 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. | 2014-2015, Applied Renewables Research, Fair Head, ADCP Campaign |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | ADCP Campaign |
| 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. | 1907d99c-a8fa-47cc-90c3-b260ee879ae4 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-349 |
| 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 | 2014-04-23 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2015-03-14 |
| 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. | Two sea-bed mount ADCP surveys were undertaken by Applied Renewables Research Ltd (ARR Ltd) within the tidal stream off Fairhead in Northern Ireland. The current and wave measurements were undertaken at different locations using identical Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) deployed in dedicated seabed frames.

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The output from both ADCPs is provided in two formats; Matlab data files (.mat) and Excel files (.xlsx). A separate file is used for each ADCP so that there are a total of 4 data files for the current analysis. The following sub-sections contain further details on the content and format of these files. The root filename for the ADCPs are provided in the table below. The current versions of the data files are 2x0 for ADCP04 and 2x0 for ADCP05. A new set of data has been produced for ADCP04 due to an increase in the side-lobe filtering and for ADCP05 also due to an increase in side-lobe filtering and correction of the QC masking. A version history in provided in Appendix A. Quality control (QC) is provided at three tiers. The details of the quality control are provided followed by tables that contain the actual data return rates achieved, together with a discussion of the data quality containing a justification of the final data quality used for the analysis. |
